Mathoura is located 40km north of Echuca Moama and is a spectacular gateway to one of the largest red gum forests in the world. It’s an enchanted wonderland for lovers of the Australian bush, the river and the great outdoors.
The forest, which stretches more than 70,000 hectares and includes wetlands of international significance, has arguably the best access in the region to the Murray River. It features good dry weather roads and sprawling low river banks that feed out across gloriously flat sheets of water.
Mathoura is a popular destination for those seeking the gentle country lifestyle and a peaceful retreat in the heart of a beautiful natural environment.
It has a rich and unique history, a charming main shopping street, a vast array of public artworks, a popular calendar of events, and beautiful forests and waterways at every turn.
There’s so much to see, touch and experience in this little slice of river paradise.
