                                        The quaintly named "Rural City of Murray Bridge" is the major centre on the Murray River north of Lake Alexandra. Located 26 metres above sea level, it is a typical sprawling rural centre surrounded by a major agricultural district which is driven by dairying, chicken raising, pig breeding, tomato and snow pea growing. The "city" has a collection of notable historic buildings but the main attractions in the area are the cruises up and down the Murray River and the remarkable "open" zoo at Monarto.
