Paringa is famous for its vineyards, almond, citrus and stone fruit orchards, and the steel bridge with a span that can be raised to allow houseboats and paddlesteamers to pass underneath and across the Murray River to Renmark.[1] At the 2006 census, Paringa had a population of 946.[2] Railway{{further|Barmera railway line}}The railway line from Tailem Bend was extended north to Paringa soon after it had reached the Brown's Well district, with the official opening on 3 October 1913.[3] However it took another 14 years for the railway to cross the river, when the bridge and the railway to Renmark opened in January 1927.[5] The railway eventually extended to Barmera by August 1928. The historic Paringa Bridge was designed to carry a single railway line in the centre, with a road lane on each side of it. It has a total of six spans, including one lift span to allow river traffic to pass underneath.[4] It was opened on 31 January 1927, enabling the railway to extend to Renmark.[5] It is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.[6] The railway closed December 1990 but the bridge continues to carry the Sturt Highway as part of the main road link between Adelaide and Sydney. The town todayParinga today is a satellite town to the much larger Renmark, 4 km downstream. It boasts a pub, general store, museum and antiques shop. It is a service centre for the large agricultural enterprises on the Murtho and Lindsay Point roads. There is a beautiful picnic area on the riverfront adjacent to the Bridge. Many new homes have been built in Paringa in recent years. See also
