The historically colourful town of Tanunda is at the centre of South Australia’s prime wine producing district, the Barossa Valley. Tanunda has grown out of the village of Langmeil which was established in 1843 on the banks of the North Para River by the first wave of German Migrants to settle in the Barossa, most of whom were Silesian and Prussian refugees fleeing religious persecution. The character of the village is preserved in its magnificent old Lutheran churches. This evening the group will get together for welcome drinks.

She represents a new age in inland cruising and an elegant recreation of a bygone era. A fundamental part of Australia’s heritage was founded in the proud paddlesteamer tradition. The Murray was the lifeline to pioneers who lived on the driest continent on earth. Over 200 paddlesteamers plied the river day and night, negotiating hidden reefs, massive sandbars and treacherous passages. The PS Murray Princess will head upriver while you enjoy pre-dinner drinks and a welcome dinner. As we cruise under floodlight to our overnight mooring at River View Lodge you may see nocturnal wildlife on the riverbank. Watch for grey kangaroos, hair-nosed wombats, Murray longnecked tortoises, spoon-beaked egrets and many other species.
