Echuca, twinned with Moama across the Murray River, is set in pastoral Victoria, and is the closest settlement on the Murray River to Melbourne, just a couple of hours to the south.

Things to Do
The recreated Port Of Echuca is the area’s chief tourist attraction, built around the small remaining section of the giant red gum wharf, which served the paddle steamers of old. The three-level structure gives a marvelous view of the Murray River and peaceful surrounding bush. Since modern road and rail commodity transport took over from paddle steamers, Echuca’s main industries have been agriculture and tourism. The river trade may be a thing of the past but it is still possible to take a cruise on an authentic paddle steamer, and dine on a riverboat.
Are you all set to cruise the river, admiring the parks and native forests along the banks, maybe stopping to swim or paddle about in a canoe, or perhaps join a chauffeured tour of the nearby wineries.
Shopping and Dining
Echuca’s main tourist area is situated along High Street, a wide boulevard lined with speciality shops, restaurants & cafes, motels, hotels, and eateries, plus churches, cinema and a large supermarket.
