The Port of Echuca is a living monument to the 1870's when it was Australia's largest inland port and indeed the third largest port in Australia outside Sydney and Melbourne. Authentic steam driven paddlesteamers depart daily from the Echuca Wharf which originally extended 333 metres in length in the 1880's and has been recently been reconstructed.Home of the TV series "All the Rivers Run", the Port of Echuca will provide you with a glimpse of what live was really like in the late 1800's. With the new Discovery Centre now open, it is indeed an attraction not to be missed.

"What a history the Murray has!" was my first thought after disembarking from the Emmylou. The two-hour ride along the Murray had been nothing but fascinating. Hearing the stories of good old days in Echuca, tasting history before my very eyes and the story of each and every paddle steamer we had come across, our captain that day has been excellent and very knowledgeable. Of course, the lunch we had was icing on top of everything else. It being a warm summer afternoon when we visited, the cold drinks served was a Godsent. I would recommend the Emmylou or something similar if you are looking to cruise down the Murray in leisure comfort and over a meal. As there are only as many people on board as there are available seatings for lunch, the boat is spacious enough to move around and toilets are available. Very worthwhile spending an afternoon on if the history of a town fascinates you.

Had a lovely weekend here with my boyfriend. The staff and owners were friendly and made it an experience to remember. There were lots of activities to keep us busy, like mini-golf and archery indoors, as well as outdoor activities like bungee and trail rides. The animal nursery had a good mix of farm animals and pets and the food from the fun park was great. I was impressed by the array of things to suit everyone's tastes, age, ability and weather conditions. I'm looking forward to going on a camel ride and doing frisbee golf next time I'm there.

We called by the museum to get some information on past relatives lived in Echuca, & to find out exactly where the graves are in Echuca cemetery. On a previous visit 3 years ago the lovely lady in the office said to call back on our next visit & they would help . I also found out that some of the exhibits are changed on a regular basis so there will always be something different to see. There is also have some great books on sale. well worth the entrance fee.

We went to TwistED Science during the January 2021 school holidays with a 5 and 7 year old girls. Due to Covid restrictions we had 90 minutes there and we didn’t have enough time to do all the things we wanted so. Outstanding place would recommend to anyone. A smaller version of Scienceworks in Melbourne or Questicon in Canberra. Staff were engaging and floating around helping with activities. Many different activities, some we had never seen before. Totally exceeded our expectations and considering going back again on this trip.

The Strawberry Pick, Echuca, is a ‘must visit’ for families(young and old), couples, groups, anyone who enjoys a relaxing wander among row upon row of delicious strawberries, picking and eating as you go. It is a family friendly experience, where parents and kids can enjoy a stress-free stroll along the rows, picking from a variety of naturally sweet and succulent strawberries. As well as the berries, you can also pick from a wide choice of fresh flowers for a vase or drying, or even from a selection of fresh seasonal vegetables. Then, once you have finished picking, you can enjoy a coffee or cold drink and scones topped with beautiful strawberry jam and double-whipped cream or a refreshing strawberry ice-cream or sorbet. Or, dip your freshly picked strawberries into a rich, melt in your mouth, chocolate sauce. And, on the way back to your car, you can pick up a ‘trio pack’ of strawberry jam, strawberry sauce and a strawberry balsamic glaze. Frequent visitors can also enjoy the benefits of a ‘loyalty card’, which adds even greater value to return visits. The Strawberry Pick is a great place to visit, for both locals and visitors.
