Meningie, SA 5264

Picturesque gateway to the Coorong. Some fantastic views of Lake Albert, the town is positioned right on the lakefront. Great place to birdwatch. Still retains the quirks and charms of a small town despite being a good tourist drawcard in the summer months. Always worth a visit and a safe and pleasant place to live.

Used a lot for people travelling to catch the ferry over the river so they can head to the mouth of the murray river

There are some great shops, and playgrounds here. The only time I have visited has been in the last 12 months and the water level on the lake was well down and it was blowing a gale. There was plenty for young kids to do and you could see the appeal of the area but with a low water level it was clear that it wasn't the spot for me.

Well out of the city in a nice spot this area has a lot of potential but it’s a spot for particular people.
Probably more for retirees looking for a quiet spot to relax.

Murray Bridge isn't far away to get those things you can't get locally.
