Yarrawonga: YYWG -> North East
The Murray River defines the setting of Yarrawonga — its regulated waters broaden into Lake Mulwala, giving this northern Victorian town a low, open river-country character. On the opposite bank, Mulwala forms a cross-border twin town in New South Wales, while the surrounding Murray Valley is shaped by irrigated agriculture. Yarrawonga sits within the traditional Country of the Yorta Yorta people. Lake Mulwala was created by the Yarrawonga Weir and supports boating and recreation alongside the town’s parks and foreshore. Yarrawonga Airfield lies on the flat farmland south of town, reflecting the spacious terrain that characterises this section of Victoria’s borderland.

Few towns in Victoria have a history as closely tied to the Murray River and irrigation as Yarrawonga. On the river’s southern bank, it faces Mulwala in New South Wales, while Lake Mulwala extends upstream from Yarrawonga Weir. Completed in 1939, the weir helps supply the Murray Valley Irrigation Area and transformed this reach of the river into a broad recreational lake, where trunks of inundated river red gums remain a distinctive feature. Yarrawonga’s border position has fostered a close relationship with Mulwala, shared by boating, angling and holiday traffic. Its foreshore, shops and golf facilities establish it as a longstanding Murray River holiday centre.
