The Big Murray Cod — Attraction in Tocumwal

Although it's not a massive structure, the location is excellent. It's a great spot to break up your trip, especially with the convenience of a bakery, cafes, and a park close to the river. There’s plenty of parking nearby, making it easy to access and enjoy.

Very clean and neat and do drop into the Infomation Centre next to the Big Cod too. Camping across the river...
