Getting on the water is easy at this lakeside town along the Murray River.
Whether you’re taking a road trip between Melbourne and Sydney or following the mighty Murray River along state lines, Mulwala is a pocket of paradise for water lovers. Sitting on the manmade Mulwala Lake, about an hour west of Albury/Wodonga, Mulwala has miles of waterways and islands fringed by picturesque river red gums. Don’t forget your swimmers as there are plenty of ways to get on the water. Try stand-up paddleboarding, waterskiing, and windsurfing; cool off with a swim or splash on the water slides; paddle the river by kayak; or try your luck hooking a Murray Cod. Campers have plenty of options in both Mulwala and neighbouring Yarrawonga on the Victoria side. Check into a holiday park with powered sites, plenty of amenities, and a boat ramp; opt for a peaceful lakeside or riverside campground; or snag a spot at one of the many local Hipcamps.
