 With our near perfect
weather it is a great place
to enjoy the great outdoors.
Spend a lazy afternoon
dangling a line, hoping to
land that elusive "father of
all fish". Or perhaps you
are more the energetic type
who would enjoy the
challenge of a game of golf
on the par 73, championship
course. If golf isn't your
forte, perhaps picking up a
racquet for a friendly game
of tennis on one of the 14
magnificent grass courts is
more your style. For a more
leisurely pace, a choice of
5 lawn bowls greens
available for use all year
round. Or maybe just relax
beside a pool and enjoy a
weekend away.
 The Barham & District
Services Memorial Club
(BDSMC) proudly owns the
cluBarham Motel located directly
opposite the Services Club.
With the purchase of the
Barham Golf Resort on
course, we now offer
fantastic Golf, Conference,
Entertainment and Getaway
packages. The Barham &
District Services Memorial
Club has become one of the
most popular destinations in
the central Murray region,
it has been recognised by
industry peers, winning and
being a finalist in the New
South Wales Club of the Year
Awards, particularly for
outstanding service to the
community.
Barham was first settled in
the 1840's and was very
isolated until the arrival
of steam boats in 1853.
These boats played an
integral part in the early
development of Barham with
Saw Mills and the Flour Mill
all plying their trade up
and down the river until the
railway opened from
Koondrook to Kerang in 1889.
The punt over the river
began carrying stock, grain,
wool and essential food
supplies between New South
Wales and Victoria in 1884
and continued until 1904.
When the Bridge was opened
in 1904 Barham and Koondrook
started to grow together.
