Celebrating our finalist recognition
2026 Victorian Tourism Awards Finalist
We’re proud to be recognised as a finalist in the 2026 Victorian Tourism Awards.
Spring on Country
The Barmah Forest is alive with change. Sacred and Azure Kingfishers have returned, pelicans and sea-eagles patrol the Dhungala, and rainbow bee-eaters are nesting. The Yamyabuc Trail is especially vibrant this season.
Our renewed 40-bed accommodation facilities open in 2026. Bookings are now being taken for school camps, cultural immersion programs and outdoor learning experiences, with popular dates already filling.
Spring and summer are a beautiful time on the Dhungala, with nesting birds, spoonbills and egrets, turtles resting on logs and golden light across the river. Join a Kingfisher Cruise to see the Barmah Forest come alive from the water.
Step away from the office and reconnect through culture. Guided walks, cultural experiences, cruises and leadership programs provide a memorable setting for team building, planning days and conferences.
The Dharnya Centre sits within the Barmah Forest, a Ramsar-listed wetland of international significance.
Recently upgraded with multimillion-dollar facilities, the Dharnya Precinct is now open to the public for learning, gatherings, and shared experiences on Country.
We are taking bookings now for curriculum-aligned school day experiences and cultural programs for businesses, as well as 2026 school camps in our new 40-bed facilities.
