Yakkajari

Yakkajari lies on the Riverina plains near Yanco Creek, a branch of the Murrumbidgee River. Yanco belongs to a network of waterways that includes Colombo, Billabong and Forest creeks and connects the Murrumbidgee with the Murray. River red gums and black box trees line parts of the channels, while depressions and billabongs hold water across the floodplain. These creeks and wetlands form part of the country of Aboriginal peoples of the Murrumbidgee basin.
