We are lucky enough to live in a part of the world that is steeped in history, offers contemporary experiences, and connects visitors to diverse towns, villages, and experiences.
Echuca Moama, a twin town located on the banks of the mighty Murray River, is the closest point of the Murray to Melbourne – just a two-and-a-half-hour drive.
World-renowned as the paddlesteamer capital of Australia, Echuca Moama connects visitors from north, south, east and west.
Local accommodations, attractions, experiences, dining, events, entertainment, and touring routes offer visitors incredible choices.
Combined with country hospitality, you’ll experience the best of both worlds on-river to off-river; from complete nature-based relaxation to non-stop adventure; delicious eateries to campsite fires; country cafes to pubs, clubs and restaurants; horse-drawn carriage rides, and chauffeur-driven vintage cars to eco-friendly eBikes; lush golf courses and bowling greens to horse trail riding; vineyards, and cellar doors to distilleries and boutique bars; Zoos Victoria’s Kyabram Fauna Park to adventure parks, nature reserves, historical sites, and trails; botanic gardens to Australia’s largest cactus garden; museums for first nations, arts, culture, beer, and motoring to galleries, markets, and touring trails for Silo Art, food, history and backroads.
For event lovers, see light show spectaculars and music events on the Murray from Moama Lights, the world recognised Southern 80 ski race, to the Echuca Moama Winter Blues Festival, and long-running Riverboats Music Festival, upriver to the Barham Country Music Festival, inland to the Tongala Hay Bale Trail ride and heritage Colbinabbin Picnic, in wine regions of the Murray and Riverina Murray regions of Victoria and New South Wales, for the home-grown Perricoota Pop & Pour Festival expanding to the Heathcote Pop & Pour Festival in 2024, to a celebration of lost trades at the Echuca Moama Steam Iron & Trades Revival.
Every visitor should experience the Murray from the deck or cabin of a paddlesteamer.
