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.
