Frequently Asked Questions

1 Can I go fishing?

Yes, fishing is permitted, however there may be limits on what can be caught in each State.  If you catch carp then it must not be returned to the river.

2 Who controls the Murray River?

Boating policy in South Australia is managed by Transport SA.  NSW owns the Murray River to the South Australian border and is managed by NSW Maritime.

Maritime regulations state the number of persons on board must not exceed the number of berths, the maximum permissible is 12. Children under 12 months of age are excluded.

4 Can anyone drive a houseboat, even if they haven’t done any?

You are then taken for a short instructional cruise just to make sure you are comfortable handling the craft.
