The Murraylands has an enviable and diverse rural lifestyle based around established well serviced regional towns dotted along the River Murray, extending into the heart of the Murray Mallee and into the Coorong.  Five regional councils support community services, sporting and recreational activities and infrastructure and diverse business activities.

The region is well serviced by road networks and a national rail system which allows easy access between  the Eastern seaboard, Adelaide, regional South Australia, Riverland and the northern and outback areas of Australia.

The Murraylands has close proximity to Adelaide, around 45 minutes to the heart of the CBD whilst enjoying the rural lifestyle.  There are many sporting clubs and associations, with access to golf courses, horse racing, river based water sports and other recreation activities.  The Murraylands region is in a period of intense optimism and prosperity despite the low allocation of water for associated horticultural and industry practices.
