Walking trails and four wheel drive (4WD) tracks crisscross more than a quarter of a million hectares of parks. Bring a picnic or camp overnight and get close to our wetlands and diverse wildlife.
The Murray River’s thick mallee scrub is actually native eucalypt. These trees attract plenty of wildlife, so keep an eye out for the ground dwelling mallee fowl, which you’ll only find in Australia’s mallee areas.
Hundreds of species of birds live along the river. You'll find herons, darters and egrets, as well as yellow-billed spoonbills, grey teal ducks, pelicans and cormorants. Whether you are a serious ornithologist or a casual birdwatcher, this is for you.
Take a tour
Birds Australia Gluepot Reserve is a great place to see everything. Take a guided tour to see some of the 18 nationally threatened bird species or discover this special place at your own pace.
You should also spend time in the vast Danggali Wilderness Park, which became Australia’s first United Nations’ Biosphere, for its protection of mallee scrub and precious bird sanctuaries.
Parks and wetlands
The red gums and floodplains of the Chowilla Game Reserve are now internationally recognised wetlands. Along with Loch Luna Game Reserve and the Moorook Game Reserve, it’s an important habitat for aquatic birds and mammals.
Mulga Sanctuary and Wildlife Park features a walk-through aviary and other exotic wildlife. Enjoy both guided and self guided tours.
The Murray River National Park is actually a group of islands which you can explore by foot, canoe or houseboat.
