Barmah-Millewa Forest

Barmah-Millewa Forest is a large, ecologically important area located along the Murray River, spanning parts of Victoria and New South Wales in Australia. It is renowned for its extensive Floodplain Red Gum forests, which flood seasonally, supporting diverse plant and animal life. The forest provides habitat for numerous bird, fish, and mammal species, and plays a key role in maintaining water quality and flood management. It is also a popular destination for recreation, such as fishing, boating, and camping. As a protected area, it contributes significantly to biodiversity conservation and the health of the Murray-Darling Basin ecosystem.
