Welcome to Echuca-Moama, the historic port towns on the Murray River.

Established in the early 1840s, by the late 1800s Echuca had grown to become the largest inland port in Australia. A mighty red-gum wharf stretched 1.2km along the river, and a fleet of up to 240 paddle-steamers continually delivered agricultural produce for transfer to freight trains bound for Melbourne.

While the pace may have lessened, visitors to Echuca-Moama today can experience the past in the historic port precinct. The restored wharf offers the opportunity to re-live the 1800s, and a fleet of steam driven paddle-steamers still plies the river on regular cruises (although the cargo these days is people rather than wool). The penny arcade and old-time movie hall will delight young and old alike.

Of course, Echuca-Moama is not just about its port. It is a vibrant modern city, with many attractions for the visitor. Why not visit the galleries and museums, get lost in a maze or play a round of golf? Go wild with paintball, spend an evening at the speedway, or have a flutter on the pokies.

The wineries of the nearby Perricoota wine area will welcome you to sample their drop. Or perhaps a quiet stroll along the many bush walking tracks is more your style. When it’s time to eat, the choice of restaurants and other dining options will amaze you.
