Yanga National Park

The national park extends across 66,734 hectares of land, featuring a 170-kilometer frontage along the Murrumbidgee River and numerous wetlands.

The park originated from Yanga Station, which was among the largest privately owned pastoral properties in the Southern Hemisphere until its purchase by NSW Government in 2005.

The Muthi Muthi people maintain traditional connections to the land, with numerous Aboriginal sites including mounds, scarred trees, burials, and middens throughout the park.

Visitors can access camping areas, walking trails, and birdwatching facilities through the park office in Balranald, which provides maps and guided tour information.

The park contains twelve different wetland classifications under the Ramsar Convention, supporting over 150 bird species and 300 plant varieties in its ecosystems.
