Cragg's Hut Walking Trail

Circuit

Walk
30 min to 45 min

Run
10 min to 15 min

Starting from the Cragg's Hut car park off Mallee Drive, Murray River National Park, this walk takes you on a circuit past the ruins of Cragg's Hut via the Cragg's Hut Walking Trail. This short and easy loop takes walkers past the ruins of Cragg's Hut in the Katarapko section of Murray River National Park, providing an insight into the area's European history. Built from the limestone quarried nearby, the hut was the home of the Crai­gie family in the mid-1800s. In the early 1930s, the Bland and Bennet families settled in the area, and the remnants of the Blands' home can also be seen along the trail. After passing the his­toric remains of the homes of the Crai­gies and the Blands, the trail passes the grave of Mar­garet Craigie before reaching a look­out with views over the land that once supported these fam­i­lies. There are several interpretive signs along the trail detailing the lives and struggles of these European settlers who once worked the land here. There's also a boat ramp located near the car park, which provides the opportunity for canoeing or kayaking. This loop consists of narrow, gently undulating walking trails with uneven natural surfaces and compacted natural surfaces and is suitable for most fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Ngak Indau Wetland Trail
3.1 km
Circuit

Walk
45 min to 1 h

Run
15 min to 30 min

Starting from the Ngak Indau car park off Lock 4 Road, Murray River National Park, this walk takes you on a circuit around the Ngak Indau Wetland via the Ngak Indau Wetland Trail. This moderately short and easy loop takes walkers around the Ngak Indau Wetland in the Katarapko North section of Murray River National Park, providing excellent opportunities for view­ing wet­land birdlife. Ngak Indau is a tem­po­rary wet­land that cycles through wet and dry peri­ods, with water levels regulated by structures at either end of the creek that feeds the wet­land. The trail winds its way around the wet­land, passing a bird hide before heading along the banks of the Murray River and back again. The trail is well-marked, with interpretive signs describing the native vegetation found in the area. A range of waterbirds including pelicans, spoon­bills, ducks and herons can be observed from the bird hide, while red-capped robins are often seen around the saltbush along the riv­er. Kan­ga­roos and lizards can also be seen along the trail, while brushtail possums can be spotted after dark. This loop consists of narrow, mostly flat walking trails, with uneven and compacted natural surfaces suitable for most fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
