It is advisable to take your own drinking water. Swimming/Water Sports Before swimming, boating or partaking in other water activities, care should be taken to test the depth, and the current of the river. Also be sure to check for submerged objects and take note of other river users. Children should always be supervised in and around water. Waste All visitors to the river are responsible for the removal of their own rubbish. Fruit Fly The Riverina is an important food producer and fruit fly can have a devastating impact on production. Please abide by the Fruit Fly Exclusion Zone signage and use roadside disposal bins. Lighting Fires There may be firebans at any time of the year. It is important you adhere to these.
