THE MUST DOs IN MOULAMEIN

1. Whether you want to slow down with a leisurely swim, fishing or kayaking, or ramp up the action with the more adrenaline-fuelled water sports, Moulamein Lake has you covered. You can also indulge in some wildlife watching with an abundance of birdlife on the lake including black swans, pelicans and ducks.

2. Moulamein River Walk combines the best of the area’s natural environment with 19th and 20th century history. Follow the Edward River and Billabong Creek on this self-guided tour marked by a series of storyboards depicting the region’s rich history and environment. It’s the perfect location to spot native wildlife such as kangaroos, emus, goannas, bearded dragons, and kookaburras. Highlights of the walk include the Old Moulamein Wharf, Ring Tree, Scar Tree and Big Tree.

3. Take some extra time to admire the wonder of the Big Tree on your river walk. This magnificent River Red Gum is one of the largest in the Riverina, measuring 11.6 metres in circumference! It is thought to be between 500 and 1000 years old and is a culturally significant meeting place for the Wamba Wamba people.

4. Moulamein River Reserve is the perfect spot for free camping on the banks of the Edward River or a spot of fishing. While there are no facilities, toilets and water are available at the nearby Moulamein Football Oval and Bowling Club.

5. Learn all about the region’s important shearing history at the Mooloomoon Woolshed and Pastoral History Display.

6. Drop in for a coffee and cake at the locally run Moulamein Art Gallery, featuring arts, crafts and produce from local artists (open Thursdays and Fridays, or by appointment).
