What to do in Greater Hume in April

For avid birdwatchers, or anyone looking for an excuse for a relaxing drive through our region, there are several prime spots to see any of the wide range of native birds we host in Greater Hume. These locations form a rough loop; start and end at any point convenient to you.

Burrumbuttock - Wirraminna Environmental Education Centre

Culcairn - Golf Common

Henty - Government Dam Nature ReserveDoodle Comer Swamp

Holbrook - Ten Mile Creek

Jindera - Jindera Wetlands

Walla Walla - Gum Swamp Reserve

Woomargama - Woomargama National Park (entrance and visitors area).

The total loop takes a little under 3 hours to drive. Add time for stops along the way to spot birds.

Since you’re travelling through the region’s biggest towns, there’s easy access to food and rest stops along the way. For a small-town experience, try the pub meals at Burrumbuttock, Culcairn, Henty, Holbrook, Jindera, Morven, Walla Walla, Walbundrie or Woomargama.

The Mountains to the Plains Expedition will really immerse you in our landscape and allow you to soak up the beauty of the natural environment. This day drive allows you to take in stunning mountains, national parks, and the formative stretches of the Murray River in the south-east, and rolling hills, gentle slopes and grassy plains as you move further north and west.

This drive will take you through towns and villages such as; Holbrook, Cookardinia, Henty, Walbundrie, Burrumbuttock, Walla Walla, Gerogery and Woomargama. Anywhere on this trip you can pullup for a break and experience some incredible landmarks, such as;
  • Museums in Holbrook, like the Woolpack Inn, Australian Pottery Museum and the Submarine Museum.
  • The Henty Man in Henty, a dedicated memorial to ‘The Men of the Road during the Great Depression’.
  • Billabong Creek in Walbundrie, perfect for a fishing break.
  • Wirraminna Environmental Education Centre in Burrumbuttock where you will learn all about our native flora and fauna as you explore their gardens.
  • Morgan's Lookout in Walla Walla, where Dan Morgan the Bushranger made the most of the view as he used it to look out for police. 
  • Table Top Mountain in Gerogery, which provides a beautiful backdrop and whose shape and colour changes with the location that you view it from.
  • Woomargama National Park in Woomargama which provides you with the ultimate immersion in nature.
