Cobram - VIC RVFT

Cobram is situated on some of the most picturesque parts of the Murray River, 3.7 kilometres from Barooga, NSW and 37.6 kilometres from Yarrawonga, VIC. Towering gums, native bushland and a comfortable Mediterranean climate all make Cobram an appealing and unique holiday destination. The town has over 5,500 residents, with a further 1,000 or more living in the neighbouring town of Barooga. The area was settled in 1845 and growth was minimal until the 1880s when the railway was constructed, making the rural land more accessible. The land is now mainly used for dairy farms and fruit orchards and it is worthwhile visiting to sample some of the local produce.Those visiting Cobram can find short-term parking at Dead River Beach, (turn N off Racecourse Rd). A dump point and potable water can be found at Cobram Showground. Cobram is a wonderful place to visit, especially for those travelling in RVs.
