Further afield from Robinvale, Euston Weir and Lock 15 tell the story of changing uses of the river. The structure was originally built for shipping river freight; today, its main significance lies in irrigation and recreation. This contrast highlights the different roles the site has had over time.

History, crafts and regional produce

Robinswood Homestead on McLennan Drive is a well-preserved building. Its original features include rendered concrete walls, roof tiles, and leadlight windows and doors. The patchwork exhibition was held there in 2007 and was an annual event at the time.

Nearby in Robinvale, a small shop sells locally made goods: silk scarves, turned River Red Gum bowls, olive oil soaps, pistachios and almonds. The range may change. If you are looking for a particular product, it is best to ask in advance.

An annual event

The Robinvale-Euston 80 Ski Classic takes place every year on the Labour Day weekend and attracts participants and visitors from across Australia. As the exact dates can vary from year to year, check the date for your travel year if the event will shape your plans.

Choose accommodation to suit your plans

A stay focused mainly on the Murray River calls for different priorities than a trip centred on an event or historical sites.
