Red Cliffs
A town with big stories
Set just off the Calder Highway, Red Cliffs is a vibrant country town that’s hard to miss – especially in spring, when jacarandas line the streets in bursts of purple. Named for the striking red cliffs that rise above the Murray River, it’s a place shaped by history, community and the land itself. Today, Red Cliffs blends its proud agricultural roots with a relaxed, welcoming energy, where big stories, riverside landscapes and local flavour come together.
See, do and discover
Explore Red Cliffs at your own pace, from the Red Cliffs Scenic Reserve where striking red cliffs rise around 20-metres above the Murray, to walking trails alive with birdlife and river views. The town’s rich soldier settlement history comes to life at the Historical Steam Railway and Military Museum, while the iconic Big Lizzie stands proudly in the centre as a nod to its pioneering past. Explore Red Cliffs’ creative side too, with Workspace 3496 + Gallery offering a vibrant hub for local art and makers, adding another layer to the town’s evolving story.
