The Mighty Murrumbidgee

The Murrumbidgee River starts its journey west in the Monaro Plains near Cooma, carving its way through the landscape through towns like Gundagai, Wagga Wagga and here in Narrandera. It eventually meets the Murray River downstream near Balranald. The river is home to unique and endangered species including the Murray cray, trout cod and Murray cod. A red gum corridor lines its banks, a key feature of the Riverina region’s natural beauty.

For those looking to explore, you’ll find spots for camping, fishing and boating, as well as walking tracks nearby. Two of the best spots to access the river in Narrandera are Brewery Flat, just off the Newell Highway, and Town Beach. Whether you're seeking a peaceful spot to relax or a chance to connect with nature, the Murrumbidgee offers something for everyone.
