About this place
What to expect
The Mannum Dock Discovery Centre is located on the banks of the River Murray in the historic river port of Mannum, South Australia. The Museum incorporates the Paddle Steamer Marion, Paddle Wheeler Mayflower, the historic Randell Dry Dock, the Keys Beam Engine, Arnold Gallery and the Mannum Visitor Information Centre. Come in and explore the many interactive displays, watch a DVD "Source to the Sea" which is about the mighty Murray River from Mt Kosciusko to the Coorong or watch a DVD about the 1956 Flood. Steer a paddle steamer down the river in our interactive wheelhouse, be amazed by our collection of scaled wooden boats (the largest in SA) and spend as much time as you like exploring our gallery style museum. Ever wondered what the remnants of a shipwreck looks like? We have several interesting pieces from the Water Witch on display. See you soon
