Cohuna

Cohuna situated on the Murray Valley Highway between Echuca and Kerang is a bustling township with a strong commercial centre.

The picturesque main street is situated opposite the Gunbower Creek (which forms Gunbower Island) and is one of the prettiest places along the Murray River. With the Murray River only a stone’s throw away, Cohuna caters for fishing, camping, bushwalking and outdoor recreation in a magnificent natural environment.
The majestic Gunbower National Park and Gunbower State Forest provide a picturesque natural bush setting for campers who regularly visit the area. The majority of visitors spend time relaxing in their riverside camps, bushwalking, fishing, bird watching or canoeing along the creek.

Water skiing is also very popular on the Gunbower Creek just upstream of town with visitors returning annually for their water- based holidays.

For accommodation, visitors will receive a warm welcome from the motel, caravan park, guest houses or hotel/motel, all located close to shops and services. Cohuna has some great dining and coffee shops, together with a wide range of retail premises.

Golfers will not be disappointed with one of Australia’s unique golf courses carved out of the red gum forest. Home course of Australian champion Stuart Appleby, the Cohuna golf course features towering red gums that host a plethora of wildlife and birdlife.

Local attractions include the local historical society’s collection of memorabilia and old wares, Crystal Paradise Gemstones, Island Road drive and Cohuna Art Gallery and Rock and Roll Museum.
