About Cobram-Barooga

Boasting some of the most picturesque sections of the Murray, holiday makers flock to our sandy inland beaches for camping, swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking and water skiing.

Feel yourself unwind as you explore our stunning natural environment by foot, bike or boat. No matter which way you choose to experience all that Cobram-Barooga has to offer we guarantee you’ll be captivated by our relaxed lifestyle and fall in love with this unique holiday destination.

One of Australia’s largest inland beaches, Thompsons Beach is located just out of Cobram and is a popular destination for families to relax and play. This expansive sandy beach stretches around a stunning bend in the river and is shaded by towering gums.

From there you can take a stroll across the purpose-built bridge to Quinn Island Wetlands Sanctuary – a 40-hectare island formed by a bend in the Mur ray. Follow the wellformed trail as it winds its way through an enchanting river red gum and silver wattle forest, keeping an eye out for the many native birds and animals that call this place home.

Our famous championship golf courses are an unmissable experience for the travelling novice or pro. The Old Course is considered one of the best along the Murray, while the more modern links-style West Course will challenge any player. 

Cobram-Barooga is also the ideal starting point to explore the Murray Farm Gate Trail with many of the attractions within a 20-minute drive, including Manto Produce, Rich Glen Olive Estate, Katamatite Garlic, Byramine Homestead and the Big Strawberry.

If you’re a foodie you’ll delight in touring our rich region at your own pace, stopping off to sample unique produce along the way, including fresh fruit and vegetables, cheeses and olives, boutique wines and craft beers.
