Nestled in the charming border town of Tocumwal, the Boomerang Way Tourist Park offers the quintessential Murray River holiday experience with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. This spacious, family-owned park is perfectly located just a short stroll from the town centre and the legendary river itself, making it an ideal base for exploring everything this sun-drenched region has to offer. The park is well-known for its clean, modern facilities and a variety of accommodation options, including large, grassy powered and unpowered sites that cater to everything from big rigs to tents. Shaded by mature trees and meticulously maintained, it provides a welcoming haven to return to after a day of adventure. It’s the kind of place where you can unwind by the pool, enjoy a social barbecue with fellow travellers, or simply sit back and listen to the native birdlife.
Tocumwal is a paradise for water lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, and the Boomerang Way Tourist Park puts it all at your doorstep. Spend your days on the mighty Murray River—fishing for the elusive Murray cod, waterskiing on the wide, open stretches, or finding your own private sandy beach for a swim and a picnic. History buffs will be fascinated by the Tocumwal Historic Aerodrome, a significant part of Australia’s WWII heritage. For a great family day out, a visit to the nearby Big Strawberry is a must. The park’s central location also makes it easy to explore the wider region, from the lush food bowl of the Riverina to the world-class golf courses and clubs just across the river. Whether you’re seeking an action-packed family holiday, a peaceful fishing trip, or a convenient stopover on your travels along the Newell Highway, the Boomerang Way Tourist Park provides the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and classic country hospitality.
