welcome TO
The Sun Country on the Murray region has a magnificent climate all year round, boasting more sunshine hours than its far northern neighbours. The Sun Country on the Murray region encompasses towns and areas along the Murray River including Yarrawonga/Mulwala, Cobram, Barooga, Nathalia, Tocumwal, Finley, and Berrigan.
The original residents of the Yarrawonga Mulwala region were the Pangerang Tribe. The tribe is attributed with naming these twin towns located on the great Murray River. Yarrawonga derives its name from ‘yarra’, which means water running over rocks, and ‘wonga’ from the wonga pigeon, prolific in the area at the time. ‘Mulwala’, on the other hand, translates to large lagoon.
In May 1838, Captain Charles Sturt discovered a large number of Aborigines inhabiting the area. They survived by hunting and fishing in and around the river and lagoons, now covered by Lake Mulwala, which were abundant in fish, tortoise, duck and other game.
The Sun Country on the Murray is an aquatic playground that offers plenty to see and do. Make sure you head down to Lake Mulwala for some water skiing, wakeboarding or tube riding. Fishing is also popular in the area, so prepare yourself for a catch of the day.
Explore the river beaches and walking tracks, cruise along the river, take in the museums and galleries, play a round of golf, enjoy the local markets, and discover the Sun Country on the Murray Farm Gate Trail to sample local wines and fresh produce, all locally grown.
With such perfect weather conditions, golfing is a huge drawcard for visitors to the region. Enthusiasts are privy to a range of top notch golf courses including the Yarrawonga Mulwala Golf Club Resort and Black Bull Golf Course.
