Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Burrima Boardwalk is an excellent facility giving access to the wildlife of the Macquarie Marshes. Unfortunately there is no signage throughout the 2 km of boardwalk, no interpretation, no wildlife descriptions and no safety directions, very disappointing on an attraction that has been open in excess of two years.

Located 128km north of Warren on a sealed road: an entry fee and code to open the gate is required which is all obtainable online:ask about at the Visitors Centre in Warren if there is some uncertainty.
The gate is at the main road turnoff, after which ist is a couple of km of unsealed road to the car park area: here you will find picnic facilities, a shelter, information board and amenities.
The boardwalk is a delight: about 2km in length, it takes you via a circuit across a section of the marshes: it is an excellent, wide boardwalk which gets you good access to the marshes. When we visited there was plenty of water, some birdlife but not prolific and a great nature experience.
It was a good but long day out from Warren.

Incredible construction, amazing experience. Walk @ northern end of Macquarie Marshes. Completed about a year ago. Hundred’s of Roos, took 1 hour to do a leisurely peaceful stroll around the circuit. The trees & other vegetation were living art. Took so many photos. Many lean healthy ibis, green & yellow eastern parrots, many emus, friendly fairy wrens determined to enter our car as we exited. We entered via Carinda road which runs from Warren to Carinda. We have a small 2WD. Must do. Congratulations to the creators including Aboriginal & environmental groups.

Wow, what a beautiful spot, out in the middle of no where. Thanks David for all your advice. Well done to the Trust what you have completed to allow the Public to enter. The infrastructure is amazing. Very wide & safe board walk. Great to get up the tower and view the area. The Telstra booster is great, better reception than at home. 4 toilets, picnic shelter. Easy website to pay & gain access. We’re not fanatical bird watches but we still enjoyed seeing all the birds. We did see more birds around the car park. We were lucky that the water was under all of the board walk.

Highly recommended, we were so impressed with our late afternoon walk through we went again the following morning for the 6am opening. This meant a 4:30am start and camp pack up at Corinda. Well worth it spotting Nankeen Night Herons eating frogs and plenty of birds .. Grebes with young, Woodland swallows, the observation tower was a fantastic view over the different vegetation zones. Loved the info boards and facilities were available at the start of the track. The online contact was excellent (thx David) & took time to explain what we saw …a narrow nosed planigale. So much beauty with the Marshes rich with life and water. A must see ….

This is what we hoped to see in the Macquarie Marshes area. Beautifully presented boardwalk meandering through the peaceful wetlands. Much birdlife but not seen all that close. Ease make sure you register to get access code well before you reach the area as you may not have any connectivity. Watch for signage - small brown sign pointing Burrima. Use GPS coordinates if you can.
Thanks to the owners for offering up this area to public access.

Having worked on Borah Creek, the Macquarie Marshes, as a Field Technician, and still working in aquatic habitats, once I saw the flyer for Burrima it became a MUST SEE on the bucket list.
I was not disappointed - from every point of view this is an incredible feature that the landowners of the Macquarie Marshes have constructed. This Project has not only been "done". It has been extraordinarily well constructed so that it will last for a long long time.
The basic aim to allow people to get a taste of the beauty in places that are "off the map" but part of our environment has been achieved. I knew how that area functioned but talking to a member of the committee I was told that there is still work in progress regarding information signs etc. which will make it even more meaningful to us all.
This area is totally unspoilt - Borah Creek is an unregulated river wending its way through a forest of Murray River Redgums, other species of trees, water plants, which were in bloom and areas of reed beds which were full of bird life ( you have to be quick with the camera or prepared to sit and wait). There is this wonderful look out - from which you can see the extent of the surrounding area - flat and vast.
There has been an incredible amount of thought and hours of hard work put into this venture to introduce everyone to one of the unique areas of Australia and I would recommend it to anyone that has an interest in the environment.

It is necessary to obtain the number to key into the gate to access this very well maintained boardwalk. I was alone and obviously the $25 would be more economical if more than one in the car. The board walk is well maintained . The exposture is mostly to the smaller birds, there are no views over open water where brolga and black necked stork would be more likely to be observed. I enjoyed my visit

Absolutely loved it. Leesa below must have been to a different place than me, because I visited Burrima in October 2020 and had a wonderful time. Can't wait to go again. The owners/administrators of the boardwalk are very friendly and helpful. They have done a fantastic job of regenerating the property. The birds are a little skittish, and it was difficult to get close to them for photography. They are wild birds after all, not used to humans. So take a long lens and a tripod if you want to do photography. But I found more to see at Burrima than the viewing platform at Quambone. Only issue I had - which has nothing to do with Burrima - is that the campsite nearby had closed down (Willie Retreat - owners retired) so that I had to stay in Carinda. Would be great if someone could revitalise that campsite also.

Great to visit the Macquarie marshes today via the Burrima boardwalk. Fantastic place, lots of birds around, flying over, lots of bird sounds and a few birds. Fascinating to see the photos of the place before re-generation. Lots of water and plant life. Definitely worth a visit

At time of writing my understanding is that Burrima boardwalk is available to visitors every day but that a gate code is required for access to the property.
How should contact be made in order to gain access?
