We spent a couple of days in Echuca and reacquainted ourselves with the town. The Murray River has always been a hive of activity in Echuca. In the early years the paddle steamers and barges transported wool and timber to markets down river and returned with all the necessary supplies for townsfolk to survive in the area. Today it is a thriving regional centre and it is school holidays at the moment so a very busy tourist hotspot.
We enjoyed a paddle steamer cruise and were surprised at just how high the 2022 flood level reached.
The town has some lovely buildings and attractions.
The National Holden Motor Museum was a must see even for a Ford man!
The weather is brilliant at the moment … sunshine and about 25 deg. Perfect for travelling.

lucky to have seen the Holden museum. I believe it is closing as the family who owns it are retiring. Echuca is a fav for us.
Love the photos. Looks like a gorgeous town. Enjoy your travels. Vicki 💕
Yes there is no much history in and around Echuca. Very interesting place.
A lovely town to visit. The Murray River cruise looks interesting.
The paddle steamers just slowly cruise up and down the river. It gives you a different perspective than walking around the streets.
These 2022 flood levels are way out there. When we did our cruise in December from Murray Bridge up, there were mud lines left showing how high it came on many buildings and the caravans and house boats still left washed up on the banks. Loved Eucha and our day cruise we did in 2014.
The water certainly was high – I don’t know how they weren’t washed away!
