Mannum Dock Discovery Centre acknowledges the Nganguraku people as traditional owners of this land. We aim to respect the cultural heritage, customs, beliefs and relationship to the land of all indigenous people.
Mannum Dock Discovery Centre, home of the fully restored Paddle Steamer Marion, presents river history at its best. The Paddle Steamer Marion is a fully restored heritage vessel built in 1897 and is one of the last operational, heritage, steam driven, wood fired, overnight passenger carrying side paddle steamers in the world.
Current cruises of the PS Marion and PW Mayflower are postponed and the Mannum Dock Discovery Museum is closed due to Murray River high river damage and will resume in 2023. Any enquiries please call 08 8569 1303. Please check this website and Facebook pages for up to date information when cruises will resume. Thank you for your understanding.
The heritage listed Randell Dry Dock built in 1876 is believed to be the only floating dry dock of its kind left in the world.
It now needs your help. We have started a fund raising campaign to build a shelter to protect this red gum engineering feat to ensure it will last the tests of time and be protected from the elements.
If you would like to donate towards its preservation; email or make a donation direct to Mannum Dock Discovery Centre Board BSB 105 085 Account 0029653140 Ref: Save our Dry Dock (your name).
