Tucked away in the heart of the Riverina, the town of Tooleybuc sits peacefully on the northern banks of the mighty Murray River, 919 kilometres south-west of Sydney. Surrounded by fertile farmlands bursting with citrus groves and vineyards, this little riverside gem is the kind of place that slows you right down - in the best possible way. At the centre of it all is the Tooleybuc Sporting Club, a welcoming hub with a fully licensed bar and bistro, function facilities, a nine-hole golf course, an 18-hole mini-golf course, and bowling greens.
Travellers will be pleased to know that free parking is available on unpowered sites at the Tooleybuc Sporting Club for up to 96 hours. Powered sites are also available for $20 per vehicle per night. Showers, toilets, bins, water, and covered seating are all on hand to make your stay comfortable, and your four-legged travel companions are welcome too, provided they're on a lead. A dump point is conveniently located just across the road at the Tooleybuc Recreation Reserve complex.
When it comes to things to see and do, Tooleybuc and its surrounds deliver in spades. Pull up a chair on the riverbank and cast a line into the legendary Murray - one of Australia's great fishing rivers - or tee off at Tooleybuc’s nine-hole golf course for a round with a view you won't forget. Wine lovers won't want to miss Andrew Peace Wines, a family-owned gem set right along the Murray River where you can sample a beautiful range of premium varietals, from crisp elegant whites to rich full-bodied reds, all while soaking up the gorgeous vineyard surrounds.
