Description

Mullinmur Billabong comprises approximately 20 hectares of floodplain riparian woodland on the Ovens River and is located 2.5 kilometres north of the Wangaratta City Centre. The walk featured here is the Torryong Track

There are three walking tracks with picnic seating along the way. Besides this track, we've also mapped the slightly shorter Billabong loop, located a little to the south.

Access to the area is via the corner of Phillipson Street and Cambridge Drive.

The health of the area has been improved through active weed management, revegetation, removal of European carp and the re-introduction of freshwater native fish. The wetland vegetation of Mullinmur Billabong is dominated by River Red Gums, Silver Wattle, Black Wattle, Sedges, Knotweed and herbs including Joyweed, Sneezeweed, and Carpetweed.

Look out for a range of wetland and woodland birds and during the evening you may catch a glimpse of Barking Owls, Sugar Gliders and Possums emerging from the large old trees that provide hollows and food for many species.
