During our last caravan adventure and trip along the Murray River we called in to Barham on the NSW side of the border to take a look around. This is a lovely country town with great parkland along the river - we enjoyed a picnic before looking at some of the red gum statues dotted along the walkway between Barham and Koondrook (on the Victorian side of the Murray).
A single lane bridge joins the two towns and this was built so that the centre section could lift and allow the paddle-steamers to continue their journey.
There was a lovely pub across from the park which had a very nice shaded outdoor eating area along the footpath. The Caravan Parks is located on the river and this looked neat and tidy with a boat ramp and lots of shade. There are a number of colourful pictures (I think created on ceramic tiles) placed on the wall beside the Post Office - very interesting.
Barham Golf and Sports Club is one of suggested golf courses to play along the Murray and it can be found just out of town on Moulamein Road. There are plenty of accommodation options and this is a popular holiday spot for fishing or boating on the Mighty Murray River.
The main streets of Barham are well shaded with plenty of parking when towing a caravan. There are several restaurants, pubs and cafes in town - a beautiful spot to stop for a while.
