Barham is located along the picturesque banks of the Murray River in the south west of the Riverina. Barham is a ‘twin town’ with Koondrook sitting just over the heritage listed Barham Bridge in Victoria. Barham is clearly the economic centre of the two towns. It is a service centre for an area known for its river redgum timber industry, citrus growing and a wide range of primary production businesses. Barham is a wonderland for bushwalking, swimming, canoeing, camping and fishing for the Murray cod which abound in its waters. Barham has an 18-hole golf course and currently under construction bowling greens.
