Moama (Murray River Council) Facts

About Murray River Council

The Murray River Council includes the towns of Barham, Moama, Mathoura, Moulamein, Murray Downs, Tooleybuc and Wakool and the smaller villages of Bunnaloo, Goodnight, Koraleigh and Womboota.  It is a twin town with the historic town of Echuca on the other side of the river.  Therefore many services are available simply by crossing a bridge

Due to Moama’s location on the Murray River, it is the site for a number of events during the year. The Southern 80 is held in February each year. The event attracts international competitors and up to 80,000 spectators watch the race from the banks.  Also in February is the Riverboats Music Festival which is a huge drawcard for the town.

Apart from the river which provides opportunities for fishing, boating etc, there are other recreation options including golf, soccer, football, netball, cricket, tennis, touch football, bowls, golf, croquet, Little Athletics and much more.

In the area there are six pre school and primary schools, one central school, one private K-12 school and one high school.

A fully serviced hospital is available to residents, as are medical centres which provide not only GP services but provide a number of allied health services including physiotherapy, osteopathy, podiatry, acupuncture. There is also a community health service and a number of nursing homes.
