Barmah State Park
A beautiful wetland area of the Murray, the alluvial plains forested with old red gums, and, with the swampy surrounds frequently flooded in winter, it is an important breeding ground for many bird species. As you move away from the network of streams and creeks of the Murray, the land inevitably gives way to drier ground and a vast concentration of red gums, producing the largest remaining red gum forest in the world.

There are heaps of walking and driving tracks, bush camping, fishing, canoe hire or a cruise at weekends. its a real escape place - highlighted by the fact its not the easiest place in the world to get to. From Echuca on Northern Highway, passing over the Murray River into NSW and onto the Cobb Highway. Barmah is about 35 kms to the north of Echuca - a right hand turn off the Cobb Highway will take you back across the Murray and back into Victoria to the service town of Barmah. A dirt track (excellent condition) takes you the 7kms or so to the State park.
