It is a popular tourist destination, which has increased in popularity since the Hindmarsh Island bridge was opened in 2001. Hindmarsh Island is 100.1 kilometres (62.2 mi) south east of the Adelaide city centre, around a 1-hour and 30 minute drive.© Wikipedia

Hindmarsh Island is located in the lower parts of the Murray River and is accessible from Goolwa over the Hindmarsh Island Bridge. From here you can also easily access great beaches near the Murray Mouth and Goolwa Barrages. The main purpose of the barrages at the Murray mouth is to maintain the freshness of the water in Lake Alexandrina and the River Murray as far upstream as Wellington.
We drove through the centre of the island towards Murray Mouth Road and Murray Mouth lookout to view the place where the mighty Murray meets the seas. It was very windy but well worth the trip and we managed to get some good photoes before the clouds came in. We then headed back to the canal residential development and the Lock at Goolwa Barrage before checking out the Hindmarsh Caravan Park on the other side of the island.
