In Berri, you can find a beautiful riverfront area with plenty of space for picnics, sports, and leisurely strolls. The town's name is derived from the Aboriginal word for 'bend in the river' and features lookouts, historic monuments, and an indigenous bridge mural. Berri's riverfront is the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the serene surroundings. In Barmera, the Lake Bonney Foreshore is an ideal destination for picnics and relaxation.
