Murray Bridge East is a small, partly rural area located just east of the main town of Murray Bridge in South Australia. It sits right across the Murray River from Murray Bridge itself. You can think of it as a quiet neighborhood that's still very close to the bigger town.
About Murray Bridge East
This area officially became known as Murray Bridge East in March 2000. It covers the land directly across the river from the main part of Murray Bridge. It's like a satellite area, meaning it's a smaller place that's connected to and depends on a larger nearby town.
Location and Transport
Murray Bridge East is bordered on its southwest side by the Adelaide-Melbourne railway line. This is a major train track connecting two big cities. The old Rabila Railway Station, which is no longer used, is right on the southern edge of this area.
A main road called the Karoonda Highway also starts in Murray Bridge East. This highway heads northeast, passing through towns like Karoonda and ending in Loxton. It's an important route for cars and trucks.
