camping near yarrawonga

Hi Chedo
'Spatial Vision" put out a series map booklets called "Murray River Access" that covers different sections of the Murray. There is one that covers - Yarrawonga, Mulwala, Cobram, Barooga, Tocumwal and Ulupna Island. They show all the access roads and tracks, beach area's,camping and picnic areas etc.
I can't remember the cost, but they were not dear.
You can buy them at camping shops and information centres in the area, or you could try the Yarrawonga Visitor centre Ph: 03-57441989 or Spatial Vision themselves on 03-96913000 (www.spatialvision.com..au)

There are some nice spots just down stream of the weir which are accessible via leaving Yarrawonga via the Murray Valley highway and then turning right off the highway down to the river. I think it's the Mulwala State Forest, but confirm via the visitor centre is a good idea. Here is a Google Maps link for a visual of the surrounding areas.

Excellent camping along the river in the Cobrawonga forest between Cobram and Yarrawonga, on the Vic. side. NSW side looks OK also, but I've only camped on the Vic. side.

Head west from the roundabout at Yarrawonga on the MV highway. Travel for approximately 8km there is a track on your right...take this to the river (keep veering right as you go) there is a huge open grassy camping area with a great sandy beach. Place is known as Forges Bend - about 1.5 km from the highway. Only facility is a 2 can long drop. Firewood is extremely scarce so make sure you pick some up along the way.

This is one of my favourite sites along the Murray.
