Gunbower National Park, National park in Shire of Campaspe, Australia

Gunbower National Park is a nature reserve containing wetlands and forest areas along the Murray River system in northwestern Victoria. The landscape includes lagoons, channels, and floodplain zones that support many animal species and water-dependent plants.

The park was established in 2010 to protect the natural areas along the Murray River system. This creation reflected a decision to safeguard these wetlands and forests as vital habitats in a changing region.

The park lies on Gunbower Island, a stretch of land between two arms of the Murray River, and its name comes from the Gunbower Forest and the nearby Gunbower Creek. The wetlands are listed under the Ramsar Convention, and visitors can see the mix of river red gum forest in the wetter north-east and box woodland in the drier south-west.

The park has several camping spots including 82 Bend and Bell Bend where you can stay overnight with basic facilities. Check road conditions before visiting, as some areas can become impassable during flooding or wet seasons.

Gunbower National Park lies on Gunbower Island, a strip of land between two arms of the Murray River opposite the Riverina region. The park's wetlands are listed under the Ramsar Convention for the protection of migratory birds. Its forests also shelter threatened species such as the squirrel glider and carpet python.
