Murray Perch Caravan Park makes the perfect place for a base, while you explore this area.  You can stroll down to the river for fishing.  A walking track (200 meters) will find you at, "The Willows" a day visitor area where the locals like  to swim.

Barmah Town is situated around thirty kilometers north east of Echuca, or around two hundred kilometers north of Melbourne, Australia. The town is on the banks of the Murray River and a gateway to the Millewa and Barmah forests. In fact Barmah Town has the reputation of being the only town in Victoria north of the Murray River! Barmah is the ideal place to holiday and surely enjoy atypical Australia. 

The total area of the forests around Barmah  is 65 thousand hectares. Combined these forests make up the single largest stand of river red gum anywhere in Australia or for that matter the world. Besides trees, the forests contain creeks, grassy plains, wetlands, sand ridges, lunettes and lakes. Running right through the forest is the Murray river. Of the nearly 800 species of birds that can be found in Australia today over 220 species have been identified in these forests.
