This craft is a 6 metre Aluminium punt, well-suited for this operation; a very safe, solid & stable vessel. Its 50HP, 4-stroke motor is quiet, and the forward-facing seats are roomy and comfortable, affording excellent vision. Having a shallow draught allows this boat access to areas that are not accessible to larger craft. An Avalon inflatable tender with a 15HP outboard motor is towed behind the vessel.

Murray river boat safaris
6-Day Murray/Backwaters Boat Safari
A Riverland special and a very comprehensive River Murray experience, and includes prolific flora and fauna, (our specialty). There is Aboriginal and European history, with canoe trees, fossil sites, and an island Koala colony.
We travel from near Morgan to the Lindsay River in Victoria, Toolunka, Loch Luna, and Chowilla wetlands. This safari includes mostly overnight camping at idyllic sites, with the last evening being an overnight stay at a historic Murray River sheep station. Travel is aboard the M.V. Water Rat.
