Barham, the NSW river town best known for its citrus groves and abundant fishing spots, is on opposite sides of the majestic Murray River, to Victorian country town; Koondrook.
The twin towns form the commercial centre for the region’s fat lamb, cattle, cropping and dairy producers and together, they service the extensive pastoral and horticultural regions.
Koondrook is a quiet town whose economy is driven by the timber, dairying and citrus fruit industries on the surrounding rich river plains of the Murray River.
Today it has become a popular inland holiday destination for families and anglers as there is excellent fishing for Murray cod, golden perch, carp, silver fish, catfish and yabbies as well as canoeing on the river and bushwalking on Gunbower Island
