You will find detailed below a quick outline of the Murraylands Region.

The Murraylands has a diverse and expanding industrial base.The sectors of general agriculture, manufacturing & wholesale trade, retail trade, tourism, transport and the infrastructure aspect of, communication services, all recently experienced strong growth and contribute as the principle employment sectors. Details of principal employment in each industry can be reviewed in the "Murraylands Regional Profile", available from the Murraylands Regional Development Board.  Agriculture is the primary source of employment in the region with flow-on employment in many other sectors.

Emerging industries include transport, value-adding industries, distribution and warehousing, manufacturing, environmental business water resource management and re-use, mining and the intensive animal industry. Transport activities are linked to the focus on warehousing and distribution of wholesale goods, which is gaining in local economic momentum and paralleling South Australian and interstate initiatives and developments. Environmental business is a strong growth sector of the wider tourism industry. Water resources management has achieved national recognition and under-pins many other state-wide business activities.

The Murraylands infrastructure utilities are extensive and link centres to capitals and interstate cities. The region hosts a network of high standard roads, rail and regional airports. Power, gas and water is reticulated to much of the region. Most areas are covered by regional mobile phone coverage. Media and communications reach widely over the region.

Water quality issues have been addressed and filtration plants have progressively improved the quality of town-use water in the Murraylands. Irrigation has improved as operators have responded to directives to reduce water diversions, improve infrastructure and to reduce drainage water return and pollutants to the River Murray. Improvements have resulted in productivity gains for irrigators linked with sustainable environmental controls. Water is diverted from the River Murray by pipeline to augment water supply to Adelaide. The region beyond the River Murray is dependant on groundwater and aquifers are readily accessible.

Transport by train, rail and river contribute to economies in commerce and offer opportunities in the leisure and tourism sector. The major east-west rail system operates for passengers, freight and bulk handling of grain in the Murraylands. Links are forged with the Adelaide to Darwin railway which has been built and hence to markets in South East Asia. The roads, highways and the South Eastern Freeway serve truck transport, buses and private transport alike.

All of the community facilities you would normally expect in regional centres, and more, can be found in the Murraylands towns. Large, modern hospitals provide a comprehensive range of services, while educational facilities include public and private schools and a TAFE College. Like most country centres sport plays a dominant role in the lives of many residents and all manner of facilities are available. Recreational access to the River Murray, Conservation Parks and family oriented amusements draw praise from residents and visitors alike.

South Australia's capital, Adelaide, is less than an hours drive via the South Eastern Freeway. Regional towns can be accessed on well maintained roads with many located on highways linking the eastern states of Australia. Housing options for town living or land holdings abound.

The reality is that the Murraylands is simply a very nice place to live and work.
