Balranald Region
Balranald sits on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River at the edge of the Murray–Darling Basin, surrounded by semi‑arid grasslands and wetlands teeming with birdlife. It is a gateway to Yanga National Park and Mungo National Park, where ancient lakes and Aboriginal history are on display. Fishing, boating and camping along the river are part of daily life, and the clear night skies are ideal for stargazing. Locals gather under the gums at a quiet bend downstream where campfires crackle and stories are shared, and they often visit a small bakery in town whose famous pastries rarely make it onto tourist maps.
Balranald Council has an approximate area of 22,000 km².
It is within the state electorate of Murray.
