One of the newest of the National Parks in New South Wales, Yanga has much to offer the visitor, especially those who like to fish. There are numerous spots along the Murrumbidgee River to try.
The park offers much more than fish, however, as its history dates back millenia. Generations of Aboriginal families lived here, leaving tgraces of their habitation with shell middens and bark carved from trees to make canoes.
