Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers Junction
Murrumbidgee Junction Reserve is a simple stop, but it is one of those places that feels much bigger once you are standing there.
This is where you can stand on the riverbank and watch two major river systems come together — the Murrumbidgee flowing into the Murray. It is quiet, open river country and a great place to stop for a look, take a few photos and appreciate just how significant the location is.
What to know
- Road: Sealed for most of the trip, with the final short section unsealed.
- Conditions: Take extra care if the road is wet, rutted or has been affected by recent rain.
- Worth it for: The simple but impressive moment of standing where the Murrumbidgee joins the Murray.
Check conditions after rain
If there has been recent rain, check local road conditions before heading in. The final unsealed section may not suit every vehicle when it is wet, so reconsider the trip if conditions are poor or your vehicle is not suitable for the road.
What to do when you arrive
- Walk down to the water and take in the confluence. It is the kind of place that makes you think about what early explorers must have seen when they first came across this stretch of river country.
- Take a few photos. It is a classic river-country scene and one of those spots where the scale makes more sense once you are standing there.
- Give yourself a bit of time rather than treating it as a quick photo stop. It is a peaceful place to sit, reset and enjoy the river before moving on.
