Murray Velley NP - Swift's Creek Picnic Area - Mathoura



These photos were taken on January 14 2017. Swift's Creek Picnic/Camping Area is on the Murray River, 10 km south-east  of the Picnic Point Caravan Park, Mathoura (41 km north of Echuca/Mlama). The access road (known as Hut Rd) is unsealed past the large Tarragon Lodge complex, and follows the Murray River. 

The Video (above) was taken by my friend from the passenger seat along Hut Rd, travelling north from the Picnic Area - hang on tight!

The Swift's Creek Regulator is used for controlling flow into the Murray. A walking track of about 2 km, (known as River Rd) continues past the Creek to Moira Lake.

Alternative access routes are along Porter's Creek Rd or Poverty Point Rd from the Cobb Highway, but these are suitable only for 4WDs and are closed off after wet weather.
