Yanga National Park is a national park in Outback New South Wales' Lower Darling region. It's also the main point of interest near Balranald.
From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
A pastoral station built in 1870, which includes stables, a station store and gardening sheds. Self-guided tours around the homestead are available.
Installed in 1922 by a meat exporter to chill the room to freezing temperatures and thus make ice blocks. The ice blocks were then used for local dairy.
A wooden deck with great lakeside views. It's a common spot where migratory birds pass through, in addition to the area being a popular breeding ground due to the abundant water available.
Once the largest woolshed in the Lower Darling region, having been built in the late 19th century. There is also a nearby wooden platform with good views of the Murrumbidgee River.
A 1-km loop walk trail with great views of Yanga Lake and nice opportunities for birdwatching. The track is very family-friendly but may be treacherous to walk after rain (not entirely uncommon in this region).
A spacious campground with 14 campsites with both the availability to camp with a tent and to camp in a caravan or an RV. Long-drop toilets are available, as are good picnic tables and barbecue facilities.
A smaller campground compared to Mamaga Campground with only 3 campsites next to the Murrumbidgee River. It is decently remote, but still doable for off-road caravaning. The campground's picnic area forms part of the original woolpress in this area.
See Balranald for information to get into the park. Since this park surrounds Balranald, the information for getting into Balranald by car also applies to Yanga National Park.
