Bundalong: Where the Murray and Ovens Meet

The Murray River and Ovens River meet at Bundalong. The confluence, canoeing opportunities on the Ovens, a rodeo scheduled for December 28, 2026, and wine tastings offer different ways to plan your trip. You can decide whether the rivers, an event date or a visit to the Cellar Door will shape your stay.

Where the Ovens and Murray Meet

The Ovens River flows into the Murray River at Bundalong, at the upper end of Lake Mulwala. This places the confluence at a specific location: the river mouth is at the upper end of the lake. If you’re getting your bearings in Bundalong by its waterways, the Murray, Ovens and Lake Mulwala are connected landmarks to keep in mind.

Canoeing and Water Access

The Bundalong Day Visitor Area in Warby-Ovens National Park on the Ovens River offers opportunities for canoeing from the Bundalong South boat ramp and pontoon. This means you can include the Ovens River in your day plans not only as a geographical reference point, but also as a place for a specific activity. Check river conditions and access restrictions before travelling.

The Bundalong South boat ramp and a small ramp behind Bundalong Caravan Park provide access to numerous backwater areas and the river itself. When planning, you can distinguish between these different destinations rather than treating them as a single water route. Check local conditions before launching.

A Rodeo Date in Bundalong

The Bundalong Rodeo is scheduled for December 28, 2026, at 2 Rivers Ranch. The program includes bronco riding, bull riding and breakaway roping. These three events give the day a distinct character and offer a different reason to visit than the water activities. If the rodeo is the focus of your stay, include the date in your plans and check the event schedule before travelling. Bronco riding and bull riding are two riding events; breakaway roping, by contrast, is a lasso event. The program therefore combines two types of riding with another rodeo competition, making the advertised mix clear in advance for visitors with no rodeo experience.

Wine Tasting at the Cellar Door

Visitors can enjoy wine tastings at the Cellar Door at Bundalong Estate Wines. This adds a culinary attraction alongside the river activities and rodeo. Check whether wine tastings are available before your visit.

Plan Your Stay Around What Brings You Here

The rodeo has a specific date; for water activities, take river conditions and access restrictions into account, and for wine tastings, check availability. Tailor your search to what matters most for your trip.
