Things to do in Tocumwal

Tocumwal’s got more than just the Mighty Murray river—it’s a bloody good stopover on the Murray, whether you’re a local or rolling through on the Newell Highway. From fishing to beef jerky, here’s the best things to do in Tocumwal, NSW.

The Foreshore is your go-to—smack bang on the Murray River and alongside you as you drive into town, perfect for a walk to town beach or a quiet feed of fish and chips. Eight times a year the Foreshore Markets bring over 100 stalls and food trucks with great grub and gear. Hit the Town Beach or hire some Stand Up paddle boards for a swim or paddle—great on a hot day. The Nature Walk’s a realxing spot to see native birds. Fishing’s unreal—chuck a line in anywhere on the banks of the Murray and you might snag a cod or big carp. If you don't land one, you can still snap a pic with the Big Murray Cod, a massive statue on the main drag.

History, military and airplane buffs will love the Aerodrome— some great old planes, cinema, WW2 stories, and a great cafe - only 5 minutes from town. Wander past Historic Buildings in the main strip for a bit of the past. Have a sticky beak in our great unique shops, like The Barefoot Boutique for great country clothing. The Tocumwal Brewery’s opening soon— but there's 4 other pubs in town to grab a cold one or counter meal. The Tocumwal Golf Club’s a solid hit, hosting national and international tournaments, and world famous gliding is a buzz in the open sky - a jaw dropping way to see the area. Got kids? The Tocumwal Splash Park is free, shaded, has BBQ's and keeps the kids busy. You'll be suprised how good this joint is, just bring a camp chair to be comfortable.

Grab a pie and coffee at the bakery just off the Newell Highway— the perfect pitstop and the first place when you turn into town. Then there’s us a few doors down at Original Beef Chief Jerky (www.originalbeefchief.com), —19 medals from Sydney Fine Food Show, 12 from Mr Chilli Australia, and 2022 best business in the shire. Our grass-fed beef jerky and biltong is bloody tops, and we offer free samples in-store. The pubs do a solid feed with live music— there's nothing like a cold beer in the country, mate. The missus will love the towns op shops and fashion stores lining the main street. Everyone wins.

Campers get great camping spots and clean toilets—a win on the road. Town beach has paid sites, otherwise there are plenty of free camp beaches around. The Murray’s ace for boating and skiing too. Foreshore Markets, fishing comps, the Hot Rod show, and horse races keep it humming. Outside town, Cactus Country’s a quirky detour (20 minutes away), the Victorian wine country is half an hour away, and ute musters and rodeos fire up in the region.

Tocumwal’s no drive-by—it’s a cracker spot for a day out. Swing by Original Beef Chief for jerky that’s won 19 medals next time you’re hunting fun things to do near Tocumwal.
