Barooga Post Office opened on 1 May 1896.

Barooga has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:

• Vermont Street: Old Cobram-Barooga Bridge

Being only two and a half hours drive from Melbourne, Barooga is a popular holiday destination because it offers two registered clubs, a 36-hole golf course, a nine hole mini golf course and river attractions and also a large Botanical Garden. Other attractions include a twenty-metre swing bridge, Quicks Beach, walking tracks and the Barooga Markets. Barooga is also home to the Barooga PBR – On The Murray, a bull riding event held in December.
