Barham-Koondrook

Straddling the Murray River and surrounded by ancient red gum forests and sandy river flats, the twin towns of Barham and Koondrook offer quality sporting facilities, great fishing and internationally recognised wetland environments.

Local sports
Tee off at the Barham Golf and Country Club. The par 72 layout is carved from a natural bush setting with a stream winding through most of the holes. There is also a magical retreat that features 2 superb bowling greens and 14 lawn tennis courts.
 
Cast a line for golden perch and Murray cod in the Murray or enjoy a picnic at the Barham Lakes Complex, four interconnected artificial lakes surrounded by grasslands, picnic facilities, a walking track and a swimming area with a beach.

Natural environments
Spot birds and walk or drive through the tall river red gums of the Gunbower Island State Forest, a 65,000-acre flood plain that is internationally recognised as a wetland of significance for its importance to bird life and native mammals.
