There is a viewing tower at this park which is a nice addition, but regardless of whether it was there or not... this would be a lovely place to stop. The banks of the river are stunning. Climb the viewing tower and see the confluence of the Murray and Darling Rivers, which, combined, is the fourth largest river system in the world. When the Darling is in flow, a surprise awaits -as the two rivers are marked by a distinct colour difference viewable from the tower. The Darling is a clay based river, its milky appearance contrasts starkly to that of the mighty Murray. After climbing the tower for a view, you should head off on the walk that takes you through a reedy path and it's so surreal... you will reach a lookout point that looks out onto Lock 10. Surprisingly, while my father and I stood there taking it's serenity... other walkers joined us. I think this is a 'must see' if you are in Wentworth.

If you are looking for a place to have a break or a picnic the Wentworth Wharf may be the place for you. This wharf is a replacement of the one which was built on the site in1879. It would have been a hive of activity back in those days with all the paddle steamers on the river transporting all kinds of produce. Today it is a much quieter place. There is a bronze statue of a fellow named John Egge. Born in China, Egge came to Australia and became a Riverboat Captain. He soon had a fleet of riverboats and one of the biggest traders on the river. He also owned the butchery, bakery and boarding house.

OK, a river lock is not the most sensational or entertaining of tourist destinations, but if you're in Wentworth - go see it. It is in really good condition with lots of birds hanging around to see what might come out of the weir. Just down the road there is a nice big park where the Darling and Murray rivers converge.
