Nowhere else in the world can you experience
such timeless, natural
beauty and peace as when you are gliding through the World-Heritage
listed Barmah Wetlands aboard the MV Kingfisher
You’ll understand
why they have been named “Wetlands of International
Importance” as you slip quietly across the water in the
dappled shade of
towering gums of the worlds largest single stand of River Red Gum.
The Barmah forest
is also a place of deep and continuing significance to Yorta Yorta
Aboriginal people and you can find the Dharnya Aboriginal Cultural Centre
only
minutes away from MV Kingfisher’s departure point.
Owner/Operator of
Kingfisher Cruises is 26 Year old Benita Lamond.
Benita has a double degree in Applied Science – Parks, Recreation &
Heritage, and
Applied Science – Eco Tourism from Charles Sturt University, Albury.
She is also a
qualified Eco-guide and enjoys sharing her “office” with all who
choose to travel with her
giving a light hearted commentary for most of the two hour journey.
Effective 1 January, 2007

Located only 30
minutes from Echuca-Moama, your MV Kingfisher cruise can be the
highlight of a wonderful day or half a day in the Barmah Forest spent
walking, relaxing,
swimming, canoeing, picnicking, fishing, horse riding and exploring
forest activities.
Many visitors
find their Barmah visit a delightful contrast to the more
sophisticated pleasure of clubs, shows and restaurants in
Echuca-Moama.
