Parks and Gardens

Meet the group of friendly and cheeky possums make their way down the trunks of the palms each evening at dusk to chomp on the pieces of carrots and the like that get left for them daily.

The possums have been a popular attraction for many years and don’t mind being patted, are certainly not camera shy (even flashes don’t seem to bother them) and some of them even seem to pose for you!

The Possum Parade never loses its charm, particularly amongst families and children and is a great way to end another wonderful day in the Riverland while walking along the well lit Riverfront Trail. This experience is free, available all year round and can be explored at your own leisure.

With the reconstruction of the Renmark Wharf currently taking place along the Renmark Riverfront on Murray Avenue, we recommend visiting the possums in the beautiful park lands of Jarrett Memorial Gardens, just around the corner, on James Avenue, Renmark.
