To fill in the rest of the day, here’s a few suggestions on how to make the most of it.
• Pack a picnic and head to the Murray River at Tocumwal: The Tocumwal Foreshore is one of the region's most scenic family destinations, offering riverside parklands, walking paths and plenty of spots to relax with a homemade picnic.
