At Koala picnic area, the whole family will love seeing koalas in the wild. This is an ideal environment for them - river red gums are a great source of food and Murrumbidgee River offers a cooler location on hotter days. Look out for them in branches overhanging the river. In 1972, when no koalas had been seen around these parts since 1900, koalas were re-introduced into Narrandera district from Victoria and Queensland. Through heatwaves, flooding and fire, a healthy population has survived. Roll out a picnic blanket and enjoy lunch on the grass or head to the river where you'll find some picnic tables. Then either walk or cycle along Koala walking track through the reserve to see how many koalas you can spot, or contact Narrandera Visitor Centre for information on tours.
