Koondrook Regional Park Adventures

Koondrook Regional Park is located on the southern bank of the Murray River, near the town of Koondrook in northern Victoria, Australia. The park encompasses wetland environments, river red gum woodlands, and floodplain country that support a wide variety of native flora and fauna. This area plays an important role in protecting the floodplain ecosystems characteristic of this part of the Murray-Darling Basin. Visitors enjoy activities such as birdwatching, fishing, camping, picnicking, and canoeing or kayaking along the Murray River. The park contains extensive trails that allow visitors to explore the woodlands and riverbank environments, with excellent chances to spot native birds like the superb parrot, Eastern rosella, and black swan. Historically, the region was home to the Barapa Barapa people, and the landscapes reflect indigenous cultural connections to the Murray River. The park provides a pleasant natural escape, close to nearby communities, where people can enjoy both active recreation and quiet nature appreciation. It also offers opportunities to learn about native ecosystems and efforts to conserve riverine environments under pressure from water management changes and land use.
