Things To Do

The scenic outlook opposite the Motel Riverbend offers amazing views of the Murray River and ferry. "Cosi's Rhinocerous" marks the entry road to the free ferry crossing over the Murray River. Take a short walk down to the river and you will find a grassed picnic area and the original ferry landing, constructed in 1924.

Railway Terrace hosts a small variety of shops and eateries including the award-winning Tailem Bend Bakery. Directly opposite the bakery is a large children’s playground which is home to a full-size steam train locomotive.  For coffee and cake enthusiasts a visit to Little Local Co is a must.  The Tailem Bend Hotel and the Riverside Hotel are open for lunch and dinner, and both offer a great range of meals.

The Uneek Animal Display (a tin version of the Coorong’s wildlife) is also found in the main street next to the Tailem Bend Visitors Information Centre.
