Location
Its boundaries were formalised in March 2000 to cover a portion of land immediately across the river to the east of the main Murray Bridge conurbation.[1] It is bounded on the north and east by the Adelaide-Melbourne railway line, on the south by the South Eastern Freeway, and on the west by a 4.7 km (2.9 mi) stretch of the river. The defunct Rabila Railway Station is on the locality's northern boundary.[2] Long Island Recreation Park on Long Island, within the Murray River, is westerly adjacent to the locality.
