Discover Morgan’s SA Past: Wharf, Museum & Murray Ferry Ride

Step back in time with us in Morgan, South Australia — from the bustling old wharf and paddle steamer days to hidden treasures in the town museum. We’ll wander the history walk, uncover stories of river trade, and finish with a ferry ride across the mighty Murray… all with Dougie dog leading the way and our caravan in tow!
Morgan is a town shaped by the river, once a thriving hub where paddle steamers carried goods and people across South Australia.
Morgan’s wharf still stands as a reminder of the town’s river trade era, though its weathered timbers show the passage of time and the challenges of preservation. The museum offers a closer look at the people and paddle steamers that once made Morgan a hub of activity, while the history walk brings those stories to life along the streets.
Our journey ends with a peaceful ferry crossing, a reminder that the Murray continues to carry life and adventure along its banks. With Dougie dog by our side and our caravan ready for the next stop, this trip is both a step into history and a celebration of the present.

We’re part-time nomads cruising around in our vintage Windsor caravan, called Kevin. We are chasing history, nature and discovering new places across Australia.
We travel with Dougie, our Aussie Terrier, who joins us on walks and is always happy to receive a friendly pat along the way.
From free campsites to showgrounds and caravan parks, we offer practical tips on which places are dog-friendly and which ones might be a bit tricky if you're travelling with a furry companion.
