About the Area

Welcome to the picturesque world of the might Murray River.

Twin towns Barooga and Cobram perch on the banks of Australia’s greatest waterway, acting as gateways to a host of leisure, sport, sightseeing and fun activities.

The region is in the heart of some of Australia’s finest agricultural land and is a leading producer of milk and fruit.

The endless sunny days provide a myriad of opportunities for outdoor activities including camping, water sports, fishing, bushwalking and boating.

There is a wide choice of excellent accommodation, and sporting facilities featuring some of Australia’s best golf courses, bowling greens, lawn and hard-court tennis, along with water-skiing, sail boarding, parasailing, canoeing, horse-riding and fishing.

There is probably no more enjoyable exercise than traveling the mighty Murray in a houseboat, please-craft or canoe.

The natural environment/eco-tourism features wide sandy beaches, native bushland, abundant birdlife attracted to the wet lands, and Australia’s unique wildlife in their natural habitat.

All this can be viewed on wonderful walking trails and Koala Safaris.

A feature is the remarkable Barmah Forest, on sacred Aboriginal land, where the gum trees grow with the river lapping at their trunks.
