Horsehoe Lagoon Horseshoe Lagoon is located on the intersection of Shaw and Blair Streets in Moama and is part of Moama's Wetland Reserve. We wandered along the raised boardwalk through the horseshoe-shaped lagoon and billabong, which is home to native birds, animals, plants and fish. Then we arrived at the banks of the Murray River and wandered along to the Moama Wharf. Water Tower Art Located just off the Cobb Highway is a lovely, colourful water tower. It was painted by internationally acclaimed artist Hiroyasu Tsuri, also known as Twoone. This colourful mural blends the beauty of nature with local birdlife. Moama Beach Moama Beach is one of the best places to access the Murray River, and it's a popular spot for fishing, relaxing and swimming in the warmer weather. It's also a lovely spot for a picnic, with BBQs, picnic tables and shelters. You can also see the historic Iron Bridge across the river here; this bridge is a wrought iron girder structure that was built in 1878. St Anne’s Winery St. Anne’s Moama winery and Cellar Door is located in the Perricoota wine region. They are open daily from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm. The Cellar Door was constructed using a traditional rammed-earth technique, and it has a lovely lake and lawn area overlooking the vineyards. St Anne’s has free wine tastings, and there is a great selection of whites, reds, muscats and fortified tawnies. Three Black Sheep Cafe Three Black Sheep is a great cafe on Perricoota Road that is open daily from 6.00 am to 2.00 pm. It has indoor and outdoor seating, great coffee and offers breakfast and lunch. Moama Botanical Gardens The Moama Botanic Gardens are located in the Moama Recreation Reserve on Perricoota Road. The gardens are themed around the Riverina region and feature native and Indigenous plantings suited to the arid and semi-arid Australian landscape. They feature an interesting Billabong, Settlers Gardens, several sculptures and relaxed seating areas. Moama Heritage Trail Moama’s history dates back to the mid-1800s, when it was established as a river crossing point for people moving stock and supplies across the Murray River. We drove around to have a look at some of the heritage sites. The Telegraph Station at 60 Chanter Street was built around the 1840s to 1850s and is one of Moama’s oldest surviving buildings. The River Captains' Cottage, built around 1870, has been home to many riverboat captains over the years. Across from these two buildings is River Captains Reach, an area of the river that was once lined with landings and moorings for the busy riverboat trade. Moama was originally called “Maidens Punt” after James Maiden, who operated a punt service across the river. You can see the spot where the punt originally operated. You can also see a plaque and the remains of Maidens Inn. Maiden built the Inn in 1846 to provide accommodation and lodgings for people waiting to cross the river. We then drove to Francis Street to see the Moama Court House. This lovely Classical-style Victorian-era courthouse was built in the 1880s and is still in use today. Torrumbarry Weir and Interpretive Centre The Torrumbarry Weir is located approximately 40 kilometres from Moama on the Victorian side of the River. The Torrumbarry Weir is one of the fourteen weirs and locks built to control the waters of the Murray following the 1915 formal River Murray Agreement. The original Torrumbarry Weir was completed in 1924. In 1992, leaks were discovered in the weir, and after a thorough engineering investigation, it was decided to replace it. The Torrumbarry Weir Interpretive Centre is open daily from 8.00 am to 4.00 pm. Inside are a range of exhibits that explain the history of the weir, the ecology of the Murray River, and the importance of water management in the area.
