Barmah National Park is a hidden gem and an absolute must-visit for nature lovers! We recently spent a day exploring the park and were blown away by its beauty and tranquillity. Home to the largest river red gum forest in the world, the towering trees, peaceful wetlands, and abundant wildlife made for an unforgettable experience.
The walking trails were well-marked and gave us a chance to fully immerse ourselves in the natural surroundings.
