Overview

Swan Reach sits on the left bank of the Murray River, 127 km north‑east of Adelaide, and is linked to the opposite shore by the state‑run Swan Reach Ferry, a cable crossing that forms part of South Australia’s road network. The town is a regular stop for the tourist vessels Proud Mary and PS Murray Princess, offering weekly river‑front access, while the nearby River Murray International Dark Sky Reserve provides exceptionally clear night skies for stargazing and even hosts a satellite‑monitoring observatory.

Despite its modest 2016 census population of 283, Swan Reach offers essential services including an area school, hotel, bottle shop, general store, post office and an op‑shop open weekdays and Saturday mornings. A Lutheran church holds weekly services, with Anglican and Catholic services each month, and the surrounding region supports agriculture, irrigated horticulture and a large almond‑processing plant. The housing mix comprises permanent homes, many along Victoria Street, alongside holiday homes at Marks Landing, reflecting a relaxed river‑front lifestyle.
