| Cobram information and attractions |
Cobram is located on the Murray River, just across this grand waterway from the small New South Wales border town of Barooga. As a popular holiday destination, Cobram's chief attraction is the Murray River. The river twists and turns through a thick state forest which provides numerous walking trails through the native bushland and wetlands. The Murray River around Cobram boasts some attractive sandy beaches lined with towering gum trees which are popular with swimmers and campers, while boating and fishing are common activities along the river itself. The main beaches include Thompsons Beach, located just north of the bridge over the river to Barooga, and Scotts Beach, with its extensive camping area, located just a couple of kilometres from the town along River Road. The commercial centre of Cobram is primarily based around Punt Road and Main Street, and consists of a selection of shops, supermarkets, hotels and cafes. Mivo Park, located at the edge of the shopping precinct, offers an attractive oasis complete with rose gardens, a playground and picnic areas. The old Cobram railway station is set within parklands featuring a small lake, rose gardens, a gallery and a reassembled log cabin dating back to 1874. The land around Cobram is part of a rich pastoral, dairy, fruit and wine-growing district, thanks to the irrigated water supplied by the Murray River and the warm and stable climate. |
