Located on the south side of the Murray River, and part of the Echuca-Moama twin towns. Echuca is the older of the towns, based around the historic buildings from times when this was a busy inland port. You can relive these time by taking a cruise along the river on a restored paddle steamer.

Places to see and things to do
