Below you will find an alphabetical listing of Corowa Tourist Attractions. Any Attractions that are underlined are linked to more information.
Aboriginal Art Site
Yeddonba aboriginal art site is "hidden" in the bush near Mt Pilot. This site is well worth a visit as it has been clearly labelled, well set out and clearly marked pathways, fully maintained and provides some extremely interesting facts, spectacular views and a "strange feeling" being in a sacred place. The rock caves are also fascinating. It will leave you with the question of how were these "Chiltern" aboriginals able to paint a Tasmanian Tiger ?

These locations are on the Victorian side of the Murray River, and are set amongst huge River Gums, many on beautiful sweeping river corners. Tables and BBQ facilities are available, but there are no toilet facilities. Rubbish collection sites or containers are at most locations. These locations are generally well signposted, but please check with the local Tourist Information centre for more details or a map.
