Yup! Definitely a must see. 30 mins only - the start & ending is especially riveting with the backdrop of flowing Murray & gum trees accompanied by primal rhythms of aboriginal music. Your "screen" is fine spray & jets of water.
The night time ambience of walking through the Settlement is also part of the show. Buildings are lit - some with laser beams & spotlights. We got to see roosting birds in the trees. Advisable to spray insect repellent on arms & legs in warmer weather. Prevailing winds can direct spray on you - so pick your seat...
We were in Swan Hill for one night and read about this lightshow on the bank of the Murray River. It was absolutely sensational! The riverbank setting and the trees on the opposite bank are an integral part of the show, which tells a story of the region from ancient times up to the present. Exceptional value for a fully professional production.
Whist the show is technically very clever and quite entertaining. A warning similar to the warning for aboriginal people at the beginning a warning should be given to all other religions that the show contains Dreamtime stories. These are the stories aboriginals tell about how they believe all things came to be, not limited to land, animals, plants, and people.

The Heartbeat Of The Murray Laser Spectacular Viewing Area offers a mesmerizing experience with its riveting start and ending against the backdrop of the flowing Murray River and gum trees, accompanied by primal rhythms of aboriginal music. Visitors are immersed in a unique setting where their 'screen' is created by fine spray and jets of water. The night-time ambience adds to the show as guests walk through the Settlement illuminated by laser beams and spotlights, observing roosting birds in the trees. While some reviewers found it short for the money, others praised it as an outstanding, educational experience suitable for families.Review score

What an outstanding show. Only short at around 30 minutes but our group of 3 all came to the same conclusion that it was great value for money and a spectacular experience. Will certainly see it again when back in Swan Hill. Entertainment for the whole family and educational as well telling the story of the Murray River. Well done !
I was really disappointed. I came for a long Easter weekend and was so excited to see the show—this was the highlight of my trip. I checked Google, which said the show started at 8:45 PM. I even clicked on the website listed, but it led to a page not found. I tried to search for more info in the link but couldn’t find anything reliable.
I arrived early, around 8:30 PM, and waited. Then I saw a family with children talking to the staff, and they left shortly after. I asked them what happened, and they told me the show had already ended—the actual showtime was 7:00 PM. They said there was another official website with different info, but it was not what was shown on Google.
I was only in town for one night, just to see this show, and I missed it. It was so frustrating that the Google hours weren’t updated. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one who was misled. I don’t know if it was a temporary schedule change or what, but it really ruined my plans. It’s hard to understand how they expect visitors to attend if they don’t keep their public info updated.
