Additional InformationThe River
The Goulburn is the longest river in Victoria, and one of the most beautiful. Water from the Goulburn irrigates half-a-million hectares (the food bowl). It is a deep and ancient river, which slowly meanders through the Australian bush and provides a habitat for many species of flora and fauna. The Adventure The Goulburn is ideal for canoeing, camping, bush walking and fishing. Between Shepparton and Echuca (the setting for our canoe adventures!) it flows through remote pristine bushland, in the southern region of huge Barmah Forest. Camp at our lovely Wyuna Campsite (30 km east of Echuca – Melway map 521 H/6), or other sites along the river bank. Canoe safaris can vary from hours to days and even weeks; we offer a choice of options match your appetite for adventure!
