Our beautiful Murray River region has been hit with such hardship over the last couple of months, with river levels rising to incomprehensible levels, destroying homes and restricting access to businesses along the way.
While it’s good news that we’re finally seeing the water levels start to drop, this beautiful region still has a tough time ahead of them as they work to rebuild, repair and reopen.
If you’re desperate to help, but are unsure how to while parts of the region are still restricted to visitors, we’ve got the solution. Brand SA has partnered with Shop Local SA to bring over 50 businesses from the Riverland and Murraylands together on one online marketplace, so you can shop to show your support. Buying directly from local traders is a great way to drive much-needed sales, while still experiencing the one-of-a-kind goodies and produce from the Murray River regions at home. What a win!
The Murray River regions create soooo many goodies and experiences including award-winning wine and gin, delicious honey, olives and almonds, spectacular holidays and unique accommodation. The hardest part for you is choosing what to buy! We’ve picked out just a few things that definitely have us clicking “add to cart”, but there are oodles more to choose from.
