Goolwa is a historic river port town located in South Australia, situated near the Murray River mouth where it meets the Southern Ocean. Originally home to the Ngarrindjeri people, the town played a significant role in Australia's early river trade during the 19th century when it served as the last freshwater port before the Murray River reaches the ocean. The town's name comes from an Aboriginal word meaning "elbow," referring to the bend in the river.

Today, Goolwa maintains its connection to both its indigenous and colonial heritage through various cultural sites and historic buildings. The town is known for its well-preserved steam-age infrastructure, including the historic wharf precinct, and its position along the Encounter Bikeway. The area's cultural significance is reflected in its designation as a State Heritage Area, recognizing its importance in South Australia's maritime and river history.
