Upcoming Events in Murray River

Barham sits on the Murray River and forms the commercial centre for the area's rich tourist and agricultural industries. It was once an important river centre for the busy steamer trade that occurred on the great Murray River. Many paddle steamers and barges were built from locally milled Red Gum. Surrounding Barham is the Barmah Forest Wetlands, internationally recognised as one of the ten most important wetlands in the Murray-Darling Basin.
