National parks & reserves

Behold the possibilities: the Murray region's national parks present a diverse set of sights, activities and environments in an impressive and often otherworldly terrain.

Extraordinary outdoors

Great heights
Explore the stands of giant river red gum in the world heritage-listed Barmah State Park and Forest near Echuca-Moama, and one of Australia's largest monoliths at the Burrowa-Pine National Park, near Albury Wodonga.
