Barmah State Park
Barmah State Park (7,900 hectares) and Barmah State Forest (21,600 hectares) are on the
Murray River flood plain between Echuca and Tocumwal, about 225 kilometres north of
Melbourne. Together they make up the largest River Red Gum forest in Victoria. Equally,
the area could be called a wetland as much of it is frequently flooded.
There are developed picnic and camping grounds with toilets, barbecues and picnic
tables at Barmah Lakes and Ulupna Beach. Bush camping is permitted elsewhere.

number of ongoing uses including low intensity grazing, licensed apiculture, stock
movements and as an area to access water.
