The Koondrook Wharf was opened in November 2016 and is a contemporary design that allows paddle steamers and large water craft to berth and pick up passengers.  

The floating pontoon is also suited to recreational pursuits such as canoeing and fishing. 

Constructed alongside where the original wharf was located, the new facility allows visitors to walk the 28-metre long ramp down onto the floating pontoon to gain a new perspective of the river.

At the entrance to the area, an in-ground sculpture greets all visitors.  The redgum, slate and basalt mural is based on a Koori story and features the Murray River, Gunbower Creek, redgum forests, the Kerang lakes and the river through to Murrabit as told by local Barapa Barapa elder, Aunty Esther Kirby.
