Yanga National Park / Gayini Wetlands

Yanga National Park and the adjacent Gayini wetlands are located between Balranald and Maude in SW NSW. These stunningly diverse sites feature significant Ramsar wetlands and redgum forests. Together they comprise some 200,000 ha and are the floodplains of the lower reaches of the Murrumbidgee and Lachlan Rivers. From the air they present as a myriad of forest, lakes, creeks, river courses and mudflats. Fly over the old Yanga Station homestead on the banks of the heart shaped Yanga Lake, then follow the river courses upstream. Here, where the water spills over the semi arid landscape the vegetation comes alive with a variety of hues of green, violet, orange  and pink changing to warm oranges and browns depending on the season.

This is a truly incredible opportunity to fly over these ever changing, newly created conservation areas.  Yanga National Park is home to the Muthi Muthi people and Gayini the Nari Nari traditional owners.
