Perfect for picnics, and complete with a waterbird habitat, this small reserve is located at one of the original five Murrumbidgee River crossings. Chosen because of the exposed hard volcanic rocks in the shallow bed, dramatic rock formations are still a dominant feature. A long history of European settlement resulted in the loss of much natural vegetation but in 1986, 50,000 trees were planted restoring wildlife habitat. Take the pleasant three-hour return walk to Pine Island and discover for yourself the many former Aboriginal campsites, while enjoying wonderful river views. Facilities include picnic tables and toilets.
