 Visit the Goulburn-Murray Waters
This popular adventure region brings together water sports of all varieties. On the Murray River, the Goulburn and Broken Rivers there is water-skiing, fishing, river and house boats as well as swimming and canoeing; and you haven’t even set foot on dry land yet!
The township of Echuca provides a unique insight into the region’s rich riverboat history. Home to the largest paddle steamer fleet in Australia, Echuca also has an authentic working port where you can see riverboats being restored, or take a paddle steamer cruise to the nearby wetlands and red gum forests in the renowned Barmah State Park.
 You can discover other great adventure sports within this magnificent region, such as trekking the Cathedral Rangers State Park, or horse riding and 4WDriving through ‘Strathbogie Ranges’. Try your hand at the ‘Murray Marathon’, a gruelling five day canoe race.
If Hot-Air ballooning or gliding over this spectacular Goulburn/Murray waters is not for you, why not try bush walking or cycling through the Barmah State Park where you will find Koalas, Kangaroos and 200 species of birds.
