With some 220 kms of the mighty River Murray flowing through the region, along with ancient cliffs and thriving farmland, Mid Murray Council is a diverse and picturesque landscape. The Mid Murray Council was formed on 1 July, 1997 through the amalgamation of the District Council of Mannum, District Council of Morgan, District Council of Ridley-Truro and part of the District Council of Mount Pleasant. The Council area comprises land within regions generally known as the Murraylands, Riverland and the eastern slopes of the Mount Lofty Ranges.
