Paringa is famous for its vineyards, almond, citrus and stone fruit orchards, and the steel bridge with a span that can be raised to allow houseboats and paddlesteamers to pass underneath and across the Murray River to Renmark.

Paringa is a small town in South Australia about 4 kilometres from Renmark and located on the Murray River. The area is well known for vineyards and orchards and we found the local people to be friendly and welcoming. Paringa Hotel/Motel is well worth a visit for great food and reasonable prices, accommodation, country atmosphere and TAB facilities - open 7 days a week. The Paringa Caravan Park is small but very neat and tidy with plenty of shaded sites - the manager was more than happy to show us around.
The town has most facilities including grocery store, post office, bakery, hairdresser, and lovely parkland in the centre of the main street with a fully fenced children's playground. Other points of interest in Paringa include the Renmark/Paringa Community Museum, Lock 5 just down from the Paringa Bridge, the Black Stump (largest in Australia) and a number of walks for views of the limestone cliffs along the Murray River. Not far out of town is the Woolshed Brewery at Wilkadine with some great locally made beer - the brewed lemonade is delicious. This Brewery sits on the banks of the Murray River about 17 kilometres from town and we found it a lovely way to spend the afternoon.
A walking/cyling tracks runs all the way from Paringa into the centre of Renmark - fully sealed and shady - another lovely way to spend the afternoon in this part of the Riverland.
