Meningie

Nestled on the shores of Lake Albert is the stunning town of Meningie.

Birds from all over flock to its tranquil wetlands and to dine on the local fish. Meningie is fast becoming a sanctuary for humans as well, where you can breathe in some fresh air and appreciate the beauty of the lower reaches of the Murray River.

Take a stroll down the waterfront on the Pelican Path which takes you through the Aboriginal, European and environmental history of the land, through interpretive signage and architecturally designed viewing platforms. Bringing binoculars and diverting onto one of the many signposted trails will reward any avid birdwatcher a truly unique experience. With over 200 bird species living in the Lake Albert area, including resident pelicans, you are bound to see some awesome Australian birdlife.

Head to one of the local eateries in Meningie to try out the famous locally fished Coorong mullet. Visit the Meningie Cheese Factory Museum or The Chambers where you will find exquisite fresh food and beautiful arts and crafts from local artisans.
