EXPLORE • RESPECT • ENJOY • ESCAPE TO

River WisdomIt is important to enjoy the river responsibly and safely. The following tips will help make the most of your visit and maintain the ecological integrity. Please contact the closest Visitors Information Centre for more information.

Fishing

The prime target species for anglers is the Murray Cod, followed by Golden Perch (Yellow Belly), Trout and Murray Crayfish. A NSW Recreational Fishing Fee (License) is required. There are fishing closures near weirs and fishing gear restrictions generally apply. Trout Cod, Macquarie Perch, Silver Perch, Freshwater Catfish and River Blackfish are totally protected. Be aware of the sizes, bag limits and seasons to ensure the continued protection of these species.

Camping

Visitors can camp on reserves but it is important to keep to areas marked as public land. It is advisable to take your own drinking water.

Swimming/Water Sports

Before swimming, boating or partaking in other water activities, care should be taken to test the depth, and the current of the river. Also be sure to check for submerged objects and take note of other river users. Children should always be supervised in and around water.

Waste

All visitors to the river are responsible for the removal of their own rubbish.

Fruit Fly

The Riverina is an important food producer and fruit fly can have a devastating impact on production. Please abide by the Fruit Fly Exclusion Zone signage and use roadside disposal bins.

Lighting Fires

There may be firebans at any time of the year. It is important you adhere to these.

Road Access

Many roads used to access sites are unsealed and care should be taken. Check weather forecasts when planning your trip and avoid using unsealed roads and tracks in wet weather.

Wildlife

The Murrumbidgee River is home to a number of diverse ecosystems and indigenous plant and animal species, some of which are endangered. Shooting or hunting is prohibited on public land.

THE

MurrumbidgeeRiver

The Murrumbidgee River flows through the heart of the Riverina from Gundagai to the Hay Shire. It originates from high in the Great Dividing Range and runs west through to Balranald where it eventually meets the Murray River. It is a naturally beautiful river with many undisturbed pockets and is home to a variety of native flora and fauna species.

Prior to white settlement the Murrumbidgee was part of a network of rivers which provided transport, sustenance, shelter and a spiritual base for the Wiradjuri clans, an important indigenous group in the region. There is much effort directed at preserving and sharing the river knowledge.

The Murrumbidgee River is readily accessible at various locations throughout the Riverina offering unspoiled camping and caravanning sites, quiet fishing holes, swimming spots and planned events and activities for visitors to participate in. There are also numerous opportunities for nature lovers, with bird watching, koala colonies and fisheries throughout the region.

Canoeing enthusiasts can choose from small rapids from Burrinjuck to Wagga Wagga to the meandering calm waters in the lower plains.

This map highlights some of the best spots to visit the river.

Be sure to contact the local visitor information centres for any further information or queries.
