Barmera is located in the Riverland area of South Australia, approximately a two and a half hour drive from Adelaide. This is a popular holiday destination on the shores of Lake Bonney and close to wineries and the mighty Murray River. Lake Bonney is a fresh water lake fed from the Murray River through the Chambers Creek wetlands. It is shallow with a sandy bottom, making it safe for swimming and ideal for fishing and all sorts of boating activities. There are a number of walking/cycling tracks around the area and a large variety of bird life.
This is a pretty town which enjoys a great climate with long hot summer days, warm autumn and spring and generally mild winters - a year round holiday destination. While in the area we called in to the Historic Overland Corner Hotel, Banrock Station Wine and Wetland Centre, and Berri Estate Winery.
There are a number of accommodation options in town and the Visitor Information Centre is located on Barwell Avenue near the main shopping centre - easy to find with lots of parking space. We look forward to heading back to Barmera with our caravan to stay at the Discovery Holiday Park - Lake Bonney.
Banrock Station Wine and Wetland Centre features wine tastings, lunches board walks and bird life.
