NSW - Barmah National Park

Barmah National Park is located adjacent to the Murray River near the town of Barmah, It contains extensive wetlands and the largest Red Gum forest in the world.

The park protects 38 rare or threatened plants, including Fruit Saltbush and Winged Peppergrass. Yellow and Grey Box grow on the ridges. River Red Gums line the Murray River and lower lying areas, and these iconic trees can reach 45m and live for more than 500 years. The trees need periods of flooding and can survive inundation for months. See the barmah-national-park website for more information and for wonderful photographs of the wetlands from where these recordings were obtained.
