Echuca
Echuca is one of Victoria's most popular tourist destinations and lies at the point where the three
great rivers of Goulburn, Campaspe and Murray meet. It's name, in fact, finds its origins in an Aboriginal word meaning 'meeting of the waters'. Things to See and Do
Echuca's proximity to the Murray River has created opportunities for a range of recreational activities including water-skiing, swimming, paddle-steamer cruises and houseboat holidays. There are many historical tourist attractions spread along the waterfront around the old port area where everything you see is original and preserved. These are split into three main sections consisting of the Echuca wharf, the Star Hotel and the Bridge Hotel. Some popular sights in the port area include the Red Gum Works sawmill, Sharp's Magic Movie House & Penny Arcade, Billabong Carriages where you can ride on a horse-drawn coach and Murray Esplanade Cellars which offers free tasting of local wines.
Echuca Hotels and Accommodation
Echuca houseboats are an excellent option for those wishing to experience river life. Houseboats can accommodate up to twelve people and are equipped with facilities such as sundecks and televisions.
