The Murray River wanders past wetlands where bird
life abounds with a large variety of birds. As the river winds through
the forest areas, kangaroos and emus can be seen in the wild. The
perfect backdrop for any wedding.
The historic Port of Echuca and its amazing wharf
provides an opportunity to explore life in the 1900's. Echuca was
the largest inland port in Australia at one time. You will discover
some elements of a bygone era including horse drawn carriages that
cater to weddings.
Come and enjoy Echuca-Moama, for a week, a weekend,
or even your special day!
Visitors never forget the feeling
they have when they first sight an historic paddle steamer churning
its way down the Murray; it is a feeling of time standing still.
The Echuca- Moama region is famous for transporting visitors back
in time as they become immersed in the history and atmosphere of
the region.
One
of the unique qualities that Echuca has to offer is the
faithful restoration of the town buildings and public areas. From
the historic port area, to the streetscapes with large verandahs,
wide streets and smiling townspeople. Echuca is set to charm even
the most seasoned of travellers and provides the most stunning of
backgrounds for wedding photographs.
The Historic Port Area Echuca-Moama is home to
Australia's famous inland port. Once the largest inland port in
Australia, with a 1.2 kilometre wharf, it is now home to the world's
largest collection of Paddlesteamers.
The Paddlesteamers have been fully restored and
the daily cruises provide an insight into life on the river 100
years ago. Visitors can enjoy short trips, lunch and dinner cruises,
weddings or overnight stays aboard the Paddlesteamers.
The
historic Port area adjoining the wharf is like a living
museum. Horse drawn carriages crunch the gravel roadways that are
lined with historic buildings, hotels, tearooms, a working blacksmith
and woodturner, all adding to the character and atmosphere at the
historic precinct.
Echuca-Moama offers some of the best food and wine experiences
in the Goulburn Murray Waters region. Fine dining with formal and
more casual bistro options feature regional wines and innovative
cuisine that cater wedding receptions for all tastes and budgets.
