Murrumbidgee Valley National Park

The Murrumbidgee Valley National Park is a protected national park located in the Riverina region of New South Wales, in eastern Australia.

It is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts who want to experience the unique landscape of the area while enjoying outdoor activities. The park consists of several small and narrow precincts along the Murrumbidgee River, which have been transformed from former state forests to create a unique and protected natural environment ideal for camping and hiking.

The park protects an important part of the world's largest continuous tract of river red gum forest, including wetlands, river red gum forests, woodlands, and grasslands. These ecosystems are among the most threatened in Australia, and the inclusion of forested wetlands in the national park system is significant. The river red gum forests offer valuable ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration in the heavily cleared bioregion. The Murrumbidgee River, modified due to irrigation, is a haven for anglers and swimmers.

The land use surrounding the park includes dry land and irrigated cropping, grazing, private forestry harvesting, and other activities that support the local economy. Visitors to the park can experience the dynamic interplay between human activities and nature preservation. Murrumbidgee Valley National Park is a unique protected area that is home to many endangered ecosystems and offers limitless opportunities for outdoor activities while providing valuable ecosystem services for future generations. Experience the natural and cultural wonders of this magnificent park in the Riverina bioregion.
