Discover Tocumwal

Tocumwal is one of few towns nestled along the Murray River that has its main street truly orientated along the river, without a twin-town based on the Victorian side of the border. It's all about the Murray River here at Toc (pronounced Toke) and it's what keeps our many visitors coming back, year after year. It's so easy to find a quiet riverbank, sit for a while and watch the world go by - Tocumwal is your quintessential down-time destination. 

Steeped in unique WW2 history, Tocumwal’s rich heritage is also a major drawcard to travellers. Our character-filled main street and historic building facades date back to the 1860s, and we are home to what was the largest military aerodrome in the Southern Hemisphere during WW2 – you’ll be fascinated by the war history here. 

Through our strong connection with aviation, our township has become a renowned worldwide destination for gliding, and our airfield hosts many aerobatic events throughout the calendar year. 

Our splash park also incorporates our war-time aviation history and is a unique play space unlike anything else in Australia.

Tocumwal is incredibly popular with campers who flock to the shores of our sandy river beaches all year round. Our picturesque foreshore is just one of 25 tranquil beach sites in the area and is a favourite gathering space for locals and visitors alike. Keep a look out for the illustrious ‘Big Cod’ on display at our foreshore park - a cheeky nod to what this area is most famous for. 

Tocumwal is also your ideal launching pad to explore the wider region; enjoy exceptional food and wine, water sports, flying adventures, bushwalking and camping, or visit museums on your hunt for antiques and collectables.

Be sure to make time to explore the natural beauty of our area with a walk, jog or cycle along the WWII WAAAF Memorial Creek Walk, and to get active with friends on our championship 36-hole golf course or brand-new bowling greens.
