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 hectares and are the floodplains of the lower reaches of the Murrumbidgee and Lachlan Rivers.
From the air, they present as a myriad of forests, 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.
Murray Darling Scenic Flights offers one hour 45 minutes, guided commentary flights departing from Swan Hill airport.
