Kingfisher travels the narrowest section of the Murray River, between Albury and the ocean, called the ‘Narrows’ or the ‘Barmah Choke’ where the river travels at almost twice the normal speed. The Murray River here separates Victoria’s Barmah National Park from Moira, Millewa, and Gulpa Forests in New South Wales - combined the area ranks as the world’s largest stand of River Red Gum. It is a wildlife haven for 236 bird species, 50 mammals, and more than 500 plant species. When water levels allow the two-hour cruises also explore the Barmah Lake and a short land excursion is often included along the way.
