Murray Bridge is a city in South Australia about 80km southeast of Adelaide. It is the service town for a farming area including dairy, pigs, chickens, cereal crops and vegetables. It is where the Princes Highway crosses the Murray River on the main road and rail routes from Adelaide to Melbourne.

The Swanport Bridge was completed 5km downstream in 1979, removing most through traffic from the historic bridge. The town was originally known as Mobilong, then Edwards Crossing before finally becoming Murray Bridge in 1924
