Tocumwal

Tocumwal is an historic town located on the Murray River and features beautiful river beaches, quality golf and spectacular red gum forests. It is also home to the 'World's Biggest Codfish', a seven metre-long landmark on Tocumwal Foreshore Reserve that celebrates one of the area's most famous pastimes.

History
Tocumwal took its name from an Aboriginal word "Tocumival" meaning "deep hole", a reference to a waterhole in the area sacred to local Aboriginal tribes. When settled, it was used as a river port, and it quickly became a major transport centre for the region's agricultural products.

During World War II, Tocumwal Aerodrome also became the largest RAAF training base in the Southern Hemisphere and was used as a training base for liberator bomber pilots.

River activities
Tocumwal is home to some of the largest strips of sand along the Murray, with 25 beaches close to town. The riverside beaches are popular spots for camping, bushwalking, horse riding, fishing for Murray cod, bird watching, canoeing and swimming.

Native wildlife
Nearby Ulupna Island is a flora and fauna reserve that is home to populations of koalas and kangaroos, which can be easily seen in their natural setting.
