What to Do and See in Echuca

Port of Echuca

 Wandering around the port area you are seeing the original, not a recreation, although a considerable amount of work has been done towards restoring this interesting and historic part of town, and developing it into an attractive and successful tourist precinct. Behind the immediate Port area restricted vehicle access adds to the scenic quality and retains the peace and novelty of the early days. There are horse and cart rides running at regular intervals, and car parking is available a short walk away.

The old river red gum wharf towers high in the air. There are three layers of wharves to allow for the huge rises and falls of the river. If the kids get a bit impatient with history take them to the Penny Arcade with genuine old arcade machines (a change from the electronic age) and a movie theatre showing old Australian shorts. After that they can look at figures ranging from Nellie Melba to Bob Hawke in the World In Wax Museum.

There are several lovely cafes and restaurants in the Port area, one of them looking over the river. Or if particularly budget conscious, you can always pack a picnic and sit alongside the river as there are are a number of picnic tables offering great views. Either way you will enjoy watching the comings and goings of the river craft, and soak up the atmosphere.

The local shopping offers moleskin shirts, handcrafted red gum furniture, local art and craft. You can see woodturners and blacksmiths using traditional tools and buy their products at The Redgum Works.

A cruise on a paddle steamer is irresistible. Romantics will be lured by the pleasure of an overnight cruise, whilst for others there is always a chance to get to know your fellow passengers and join in the fun of life on the Murray.

Wherever you are, the distinctive sound of the riverboats tooting can be heard intermittently in the air, reminding you of the unique character of this special place.

Holden Museum

For motor enthusiasts this museum offers the visitor the chance to see a comprehensive collection of Holden cars both old and new. As you wander through you can picture life as it was when these vehicles were first released, and appreciate the great changes and developments in the motor industry over the years.

The museum also boasts a wide range of Holden memorabilia.
