Mannum is the birthplace of the Murray River paddle steamer — and she's still serving looks. This river town is where Adelaide goes to slow down: houseboat weekends, waterskiing on the Murray, paddle steamer cruises, and some of the darkest night skies in Australia (it's in an actual Dark Sky Reserve). Only 80 minutes from the city, but the river has a way of making you forget that.
