The small township of Tooleybuc, nestled on the Murray River only a pleasant half hour drive from Swan Hill to the north east, is a recommended destination for the person seeking a retreat to warmer weather and tranquil pursuits. The township of Tooleybuc has a population of 275 people, but the facilities of a much larger town.
Industry in the area ranges from large-scale dry land cereal and livestock production, through small intensive horticulture to several wineries and tourist businesses, but the most favourable aspect to this region is the amount of enjoyable weather experienced in spring, summer and autumn.
Visitors can enjoy many pursuits while in the area. From one of the many accommodation places in Tooleybuc a person
can undertake a short walk to fish on the Murray, play tennis, golf or bowls, or walk the many river tracks and view
local wildlife. Visitors can also take a short drive to one of several local wineries, all while enjoying the marvellous
sunshine to be found in this area.
Families are also well catered for in this township. The Tooleybuc Park boasts many objects of amusement for the kids, and the adults can relax by the river while maintaining their vigil on the children. The Tooleybuc Sporting Club nearby offers a mixture of entertainment including mini-golf, tennis and a Children's Room with a variety of free video games.
The ardent fisher can expect to have their dreams of illusion turned into prized reality in this region. The Murray River in this area revels in producing a variety of native fish and crustaceans. The prized Murray Cod and Golden Perch is less elusive in local waters due to the restocking programme undertaken by the local fishing group, and depending on the season, the river continually provides a bounty of Murray Crayfish or Yabbies, perfect with a local Chardonnay. A community boat ramp is in operation near the centre of town, and access is extremely good either upstream or down. Tackle and bait can be purchased in the local supermarket, and advice, although not guaranteed, is given freely by the friendly locals. A New South Wales fishing licence is required to fish these waters, and is available locally.
Nightly entertainment is well catered for by the Tooleybuc Sporting Club. The club offers a dining facility with a
mixture of Chinese and traditional Australian dishes. Live entertainment is offered on most Friday nights, and adults
can utilise the gaming and bar facilities on the premises.
Whether you are a couple, a young family or travelling retiree's, Tooleybuc is a well-rounded district that pampers to visitors needs and the perfect destination for that deserving quiet weekend away from work or cold weather. Hosting three motels and a centrally positioned caravan park, Tooleybuc and district awaits your visit.
