Local Narrandera Attractions

In riverside Narrandera, part of the beautiful Riverina, you can visit koalas in their natural habitat, explore fascinating heritage and enjoy fishing, kayaking and swimming. There are orchard tours, cycling and walking trails by the river, and two of Australia’s iconic ‘big things’.

Koala Reserve

Spot koalas in the Koala Reserve

At Koala Reserve, the whole family will love to see hundreds of these iconic Australian animals 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

Paddle Steamer Wagga Wagga Wreck

The last of the Murrumbidgee paddle steamers.

The Paddle Steamer 'Wagga Wagga' was the last of the Murrumbidgee paddle steamers. It spent forty years servicing the waterways between Mildura and Wagga Wagga carting timber, wool and provisions. In 1918 it sprang a leak and was run aground on a sandbar and left to rot. A viewing platform and informational signage have been installed to provide the best views of the wreck.
