Their history is richly displayed in the following historic spots: Mannum Dock Museum in Mannum; Pioneer Park in Karronda which featured the old railways and farming; Pomberuk Aboriginal Culture Centre which presents a dance performance and collection of arts and stories; Swan Reach Museum which tells the story of the floods experienced way back 1917, 1931 and 1956; Captain Cottage Museum at Murray Bridge featuring the collection on historical memorabilia; and simply through a walk on the towns of Murraylands on their local visitor information centre. Up to the present times, the Murray River has become one of the concerns of the locals in the region as it becomes a reserve.
