Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Cheryll MGreater Adelaide, Australia304 contributionsWe did a tasting here and ended up having lunch. Food was great and so were the gins! We ended up buying a bottle of their Tropical Gin which is amazing.Written 27 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Liz-OzChiang Mai, Thailand12 contributionsNow the massive floods have passed, leaving evidence on upturned trees, shifted sandbanks and new growth emerging along the banks, taking a houseboat from Renmark, and finding a perfect camping spot opposite the Headings Cliff was a magical way to holiday. Add a few friends, and good food and wine to create your own adventure.Written 31 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- C...Victoria, Australia64,662 contributionsThe Barmera railway line was the second railway built to develop the Murray Mallee region of South Australia and until 1982 this bridge formed part of its journey. The bridge was designed by the South Australian Railways and fabricated by Perry Engineering of Adelaide. It opened on 31 January 1927.
It was built as a road-rail bridge with both the Sturt Highway and Barmera railway lines using the same reservation. Maintenance cost were shared equally between both parties.
The bridge consists of a vertical-lift span 24 m long which can rise 9.1 m in one and a half minutes. The vertical-lift span is opened still for river traffic... you will note there are boom gate arms that come down to block access onto the bridge at these times.
I really do love something about old bridges... it could be the classic look or the idea that once it didn't exist and what was in it's place...if anything.Written 25 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paula HDover Gardens, Australia193 contributionsWas very excited to visit as I’m a brandy drinker. Tasting was amazing. 3 beautiful brandies offered and chocolates to accompany.

- EndlessTravelsGreater Melbourne, Australia35,434 contributionsPretty desert area located 30 mins from Renmark but feels like hours from anyone.

- C...Victoria, Australia64,662 contributionsThis 600 year old River Red Gum root hung over a clay bank, it fell into the river in the 1917 flood and had to be repositioned onto the bank because it was a hazard.
Frank, a local man decided he could do something with this. He had to gain permission from the authorities for its relocation. A chain saw large enough to cut the root statement from the 2 metre diameter trunk had to sourced , then that took three hours to complete the cutaway. With the aid of a houseboat, they created flotation mechanisms to move it. The root itself had a 15 hp outboard motor fastened to it. The journey took 40 hours to move it at 2km per hour to its new destination. The log was removed from the water near the historic bridge to be placed where it is today.
There are 11 black stumps in Australia and they say that Paringa's is the largest... but I do wonder if that is just men bragging about the size. :)
It's a bit of fun ...so I suggest you stop to look at it. And as a side feature that is the smallest information centre in Australia as well... sort of ... in a comic type of way. When you see it you will appreciate it I am sure. :)Written 25 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
