Overview

Barmah is a tiny riverside community of 229 residents (2021 Census) set against the world’s largest river red‑gum forest and the flood‑plain of the Barmah National Park. The proximity to wetlands listed under the Ramsar Convention makes the town a haven for birdwatchers, especially for sightings of the vulnerable superb parrot, while the Murray River’s enrichment of fish such as Murray cod supports a relaxed, nature‑focused lifestyle.

The town’s heritage traces back to 19th‑century sawmilling and historic river transport; early rail links and a steamboat service to Echuca illustrate its former connectivity. Today, Barmah is accessed by the road that follows the low earthen embankment marking ancient river‑bed changes, and nearby facilities include the Barmah Muster Yards and the Broken Creek waterway. Housing reflects the modest population, ranging from timber homes of the sawmilling era to newer rural residences.
