About Balranald Area
Located on the Sturt Highway as it crosses the Murrumbidgee River in western NSW, Balranald is a major entry point to Mungo National Park.
In Australia's first national park to gain World Heritage status, you can still see remains of human settlement from 60,000 years ago.
This former paddle-steamer port offers reminders of its pioneering past. Step back in time at the Heritage Park in Market Street or enjoy a picnic on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River. At nearby Euston you can enjoy boating, fishing, camping or a houseboat on the Murray River
