Situated on a gentle bend in the mighty River Murray, the Special Place for Jimmy James, a noted Aboriginal tracker, is very well realised utilising Indigenous art and modern design. It has an attraction that is strangely reflective yet bounds with life. Incorporated into the design are signs naturally a part of the “rocks” that a tracker would be looking for whilst searching. Finding them was a surprise for me and deepened my appreciation of the Special Place. This was a brilliant touch to incorporate an activity into the site and lifted the Special Place into the superb. Plaques are scattered through the area with acknowledgements of Jimmy James from people with whom he had contact over the years including from one whom he had rescued through tracking. As a visitor to the area, it was a highlight of the trip. To me the secret is to take time at A Special Place for Jimmy James and soak in the atmosphere. Return? Most definitely when next in Berri.

The Berri Lookout Tower has been formed by converting a disused town water tower into a lookout. Wonder up the 15.8 metre tower to get stunning views of the Berri Township and the Murray River.
