As of July 2025, the gallery is being renovated. A teeny exhibition of 3 works is visible at the public library. Apparently the new gallery will open in Nov 2025. Save yourself the hassle until then.

A neat presentation of paintings and pottery. A kids section with large pictures to colour in. Toilets too. Gift shop is filled with gift options. The pottery is at arms reach of active babies and toddlers so must have close supervision of them. Just the one room. I'd allow 30 minutes but got to spend 2 minutes appreciating art, having children to supervise instead. Lawns outside are nice for a picnic. Can see paddlesteamer next door (Pioneer Settlement).

Always fun to visit and they have new things every time I go.

It's a small but eclectic gallery. Many indigenous images and poetry on display. It's near the Little Murray River bank. Entry was free or donations are welcome.

Great space. Worth the visit

Nice gallary, heaps of information and a good display.

Beautiful display, just found the souvenirs a bit overpriced

Stayed here for 3 nights. A really lovely park, with very friendly staff and clean amenities. But they do seem to stack some vans together. Would have been tight up to the next van if we put our awning out. Although, saying that we did ask for a concrete slab, so next time I would maybe ask for room either side. Park appeared less than half full. A walk to Pioneer Settlement and into town centre. Dog friendly too. Would definitely stay there again.

Amazing time here. Privileged to have seen " Melbourne" paddle boat steamer go down the Murray ist time in 60 years from Mildura ( currently in Koondrook) and a once in a lifetime opportunity . A vintage car event was being held and over 200 beautifully restored vechiles around 1900s chugging past our van and touring swan hill . Did the wheat silo trail from lake boga to Woomalang the northern side of mallee region . Through the wheat belt of northern Victoria. Very hot 2 days . Caravan park spacious clean great amenities close to town . Really really nice very popular .Had the time of our life . Andrew Peace vineyard excellent - they export 96% of their wines to O/S market . Lovely nectarine farms and table grape farms . There's still water in some channels and dams but drying up slowly .

Absolutely loved it here. Stayed in a cabin opposite the river. We were greeted by ducks every morning, including a cheeky black and white one we named Annabelle. If you see her, please say hi! The service was lovely, the kids park next door was brilliant! Very happy with our stay. Thank you!

We stayed 2 nights in our camper trailer on a riverside powered site. The location is perfect, the amenities clean and the shower pressure is great. We needed a ladder to combat an issue we had with our camp set up and the staff were very obliging. A short stroll to the Pioneer Settlement and just a few minutes drive to eateries.

Really nice park, great amenities the only down side is you are cramped in like sardines especially on the river. We have a16ft van and felt like we could see the use by date on our neighbours Corn flakes…All about the dollar. Wouldn’t go back

Location is fantastic. We had our a caravan right on the river and didn’t feel closed in by other visitors. Staff very friendly and the coffee shop was what was needed in the morning. Will come back thank you!

Beautiful park wish we’d have stayed longer. Facilities clean and sites well maintained. Staff welcoming and friendly.

Wow! We came to see the pioneer village and decided to see the water/laser show that night and it was 100% worth it. Yes, when you hear the price it seems a bit expensive for a country town but it was worth every cent. The display, attractions and staff were great and the laser show in the evening far exceeded our expectations. If you're passing by, consider staying the night and see the show, you won't be disappointed :-)

We spent a few hours during the day and went back for the Mallee" light show in the evening. What a great way to spend the day. The staff are beautiful, friendly and informative. Once inside the horse drawn carriage and the car are free too. Reasonably priced too.

We had a great time exploring the settlement. Lots of things to see. Hopped on the wagon ride, Rocky (the horse) did a fabulous job of pulling Gus around in the wagon. The driver was lovely as were all the other staff onsite. Had a great ride in an old car. A lady in the gift shop showed us how all the old music played. Had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed this.

This is an amazing place to visit in Swan Hill. The old buildings and farming machinery are just fantastic. From tractors to harvesters there is so much history. Make sure you visit the General Store and check out the great selection of sweets and lollies! Also make sure you have a ride in the 100 year old Dodge and the horse drawn carriage.

Thank you to the staff who made my two children's experience wonderful. Mr 8 wanted to stay at the caravan park with his new holiday friends, but once we got him to the Settlement he had a great time! Thanks to Jack for helping my children make a skipping rope, to Ian for the vintage car ride and the lovely gentleman (sorry we didn't catch your name) for letting my kids 'steer' the horse + cart as well as taking our photos. We loved the 2 day re-entry which meant we could come back the following day to explore things we missed the first time around and to have any horse cart ride. The River Lights at night was brilliant. We purchased the laser light show & PS Pyap ride, all were a big hit, as was the free glow in the dark face paint. The snow machine, lights and music down the main street of the settlement created a little bit of magic for our little ones too. My only suggestion would be making the booking process easier. I first purchased River Lights tickets & Pyap ride not realising this didn't include the Pioneer Settlement day tickets. I then paid more to get tickets for the night laser show as I don't believe this was part of the River Lights experience!? I probably ended up paying twice...but I'm really not sure. It was just a bit confusing... Perhaps two different companies were running slightly different events!?

Such a fascinating place. Began in the 60s and has been going since. So fortunate to have so many of the historical pieces that built the area and nation more broadly being looked after so well with great information boards (even a couple of original ones from the early days of the exhibits!). Makes you proud of our country and the people who worked so hard to put it together. The tractors and farm machinery were a highlight for me, I could have spent hours more reading. It was good enough for the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh to visit, so absolutely good enough for any of us too. Best thing in Swan Hill.

Fantastic experience in Swan Hill. A must visit for any history lovers, with some great examples of early machinery and buildings. Had something for everybody and a nice cafe on site. The Pyap cruise was a must, friendly staff and great service. The heartbeat of the Murray light show was fascinating. Overall a great 1 day stop in Swan Hill. Don’t miss the big Murray Cod in the centre of town while visiting.

Well worth a visit. Great history and lovely staff. Check to see if the cafe is opened in advance. We got caught out as we were going to have lunch there and it was closed !

The museum is small in size and can be covered in around 60 mins. The talk from the tour guide was very informative and engaging. The museum has the full sized display of the Catalina, which is really worth seeing. Knowing the history behind the Catalina base gives a good perspective on the significance of Lake Boga.

Great museum with lots of artefacts (both aircraft parts and RAAF/WAAF memorabilia) and a restored Catalina. Also has the communications bunker set up as it would have been. Highlights the role of Lake Boga in the war effort. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Visit could take 60-90 minutes easily.

To tell the truth we didn't even know what an air boat was before we vosoted Lake Boga but we are glad we did. We were very presently surprised when we visited the museum. The lake itself is lovely and the outside of the museum is unassuming but once you enter you are transported to a world of interesting WW2 memorabilia, a communications bunker and an amazing real Catalina air boat in the massive shed that houses the museum. The museum staff are animated and interesting. They can really answer any question you might have and do so in an interesting way. Their info and enthusiasm towards the history of the area and Austalia's contribution to the war are contagious.

Must visit if you are in the area. I never knew the use of Lake Boga, unless I visited this museum. It also has a real bunker and a real full size airplane. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable.

Interesting historical location This base became highly significant during WW2 but if you want to know more you need to visit There is also a great piece of silo art close by

This was an amazing experience! Found information about my Dad and his war records. Shed a few tears. The Catalina Flying Boat information was outstanding! Never knew about this hidden piece of Australia's war history. The staff were so knowledgeable! Thank you ☺️

This is a fantastic idea that brings a community together. This is one of my favourite things for the year

A must do experience!! Great night out.

An unique experience well worth doing. A credit to the community for organising a great evening. Camping over the long weekend just adds to it.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Silo Cinema. "The Castle" was great fun to watch again. The Mens Shed cooked rissoles and sausages on the barbie for us and Quambatook Quoffee did delicious stuffed jacket potatoes with coleslaw and sour cream. It's the way they do it at Quamby.....you can just feel the serenity😊

A fantastic night out.

Catering excellen

Great night

Lovely lookout spot over the river. The wharf has been restored, check out info boards about the history of the town that was once a thriving inland port. Caravan parking next to nice park with seating, shelter and a short stroll to main street of town.

Good historical spot, lovely little town with its parks and gardens,river running alongside

A real gem, camping by donation available mid week and the pure wool products they also manufacture here are top quality.

It's the Australian Wool Quilts,underblankets and pillows locally produced here. Top quality!

I haven’t stayed here and I don’t even remember we’re here is all I know is I tried the simply green tomato’s about 11 or 12 years ago I was about 13 years old and I’m now 24 and they still cross my mind a lot, I’m planing to make a trip next year to get some they are awesome from what I remember.🤤😁😊💖

Fantastic couple great quiet place

Fantastic place with great customer service

Wonderful. Quiet, clean, very informative.

We are huge fans of Salute Oliva genuine extra virgin olive oil, especially the 2ltr cask. Such a fantastic idea and non drip! We love it so much we dropped in to their cellar door sales when passing through Boort on our 'round Oz trip (and stocked up!) The owners are passionate about their craft and delightful people. Only too happy to support this small Australian business.

Salute olive taste great I was Lucy to go to the river graze witch is a part of the Melbourne food and wine festival. on Saturday I wen to the river graze got to taste great olive and olive oil was great to. You dot get talk to me any food pictures but it was great to meet Marlies & peter elcher. keep up the great work.

Excellent organic oil and my family best olives.

Great insight into a small scale farming operation. The Olives are delicious.

Very friendly couple and great quality oil.

Very Interesting and informative. Love the products.

I was hesitant to buy a wool quilt because of the more recent highlight of abuse in the wool industry...but at the some time it is SO cold and I knew wool was the best choice to keep me warm at night. I was torn. So after some research I found this place. I contacted them asking about their sheep and was contacted straight back with all positive answers...plus the fact you can actually go and visit is reassuring. First night with the quilt last night and it was honestly my first properly warm night this winter! Absolutely love it :)

I purchased a 3 blanket weight QS wool quilt and am WRAPPED!!! I have never been so warm and cosy. And the it's washable! - yay!! And the service was so personalised - it's a family run business and best of all it's 100% Australian wool from local growers and manufactured on site in Boort. Feels so good to be supporting local farmers and Australian business. Thanks so much Ian and Marilyn 😍😍😍 Kathryn

We like to say a big thank you to Ian and Marilyn for the pillows we purchaced from you while on holidays earlier this month ,we can truly say we have had the best sleep for a long time since purchasing your pillows, again many thanks Robert and Neryl Reynen.

Best quilt I have ever owned.

It’s taken me a couple of days to process my thoughts on my visit on Wednesday 27/8/25 for lunch with three others. We arrived just before lunch signed in walked around and looked at the menu to decide our lunch order. Two of us went to the counter. On arrival we were waiting in line while the young gentleman was serving a customer. That’s an entirely another story. We ordered our meals of which we had a chicken parmigiana and a chicken burger with salad and chips, roast lamb, and the soup. The chicken parmigiana you were described as a reheat, reheat, reheat, burnt crispy and virtually uneatable with chips that stuck together. The chicken burger was dry, and the chips again were stuck together hadn’t been shaken the overall presentation of the four meals I would write as a -10. It was an absolute disgrace, and I can say that I would never recommend going there for a meal under these conditions to this stage.. I went to a local pub last night. We had four meals and to say the chicken parmigiana was beautifully presented everything on all four plates was outstanding. The price of drinks was nearly half the price of your of your organization. I am writing this so you can take note look at your staff on how they talk to people and how you present the food because it is a disgrace for an organization that prides itself on customers and providing good service thank you.

We were a group of 8 ...we ordered before 7pm and eventually got our meals at 9pmand later...like really? By that time we were past eating ,the food was very average, the chips were good though and saved the hunger. No apologies were offered for a long wait, we were not the only table having this experience This is the last time l will pay in cash and not get a receipt of proof of purchase to enable a refund, maybe they could have offered us all a free drink or at the very least just come to us and say we are short staffed tonight Very poor form Barham Club

We booked a birthday for 22 people. The staff we had serving our table was extremely rude. She snapped at multiple members of our party. And literally threw plates of food that bounced across the table to our stunned selves. We found out her name was Taylor. As we decided that she personally deserved a terrible review. The excuse for the poor behaviour was that 'they were busy tonight'. After complaining in person we then were served by a much nicer staff member (didn't get her name). Other than that the food was decent as was the rest of the venue. That's why 2 stars rathe than zero.. Just no excuse for being terribly rude when it's your job and you are getting paid to deliver customer service. We will not be back.

The club just hosted the World Bowls Champions of Champions 🏆 The whole week was amazing. Hats off to everyone involved. First class venue. Photo courtesy of cluBarham.

Staff very friendly Meals were nice and hot, came out quickly and great portion size. Clean venue and great atmosphere

Meals were amazing. Service by staff spectacular. Only issue we had was not being aware of where the restaurant was located. We were booked into accommodation at golf course and everything on website points to the restaurant being onsite.

First class facilities and staff! Cannot say enough about ALL the staff. From Josh on security to Steve and Lisa. Need a facility like thi at home. Had a great time

Fantastic old mill. Seasoned redgum available in lengths or slabs at good prices. Great friendly staff.

Awesome place to get a look in the days of old Saw milling and buy Mill ends for fire wood everything is made of Red Gun cheers Leo

Great service and very reasonable prices.

Very friendly and helpful people from the mill to the office

Great value mill-ends for the fire.

Excellent history service and products

Sunday lunch cruise. 3 course roast lunch. Very good. Informative commentary. Great scenery. Very enjoyable.

Fantastic scenery, lovely food, great cruise

Fantastic crew, incredible food and wonderful experience.

This is a treasure. You can be surprised sometimes by what initiatives people take in the most unexpected places, and this is one. Hats of to Jim and his team of very welcoming and competent tour operators. They're friendly, warm and welcoming; informative and hospitable. The service is excellent and the food wonderful. Treat yourself, I highly recommend this nature filled adventure cruise.

Great diner cruise with the Solos

Well run river cruise with friendly staff. Took some of our guests there and they really enjoyed it.

Lovely relaxing cruise with a nice two coarse dinner great photo opportunity's

I spoke with Mandy at the visitor centre and she was sooo helpful and endeavoured to find alternative accommodation when we had a problem with the accommodation that we had booked. Cohuna is a great country town with so much to see and do. Many thanks Mandy for your outstanding service.

Stopped to ask about the area, Amanda was awesome. Filled me in on the activities in the area sure she'd be fun to have a beer with

Penny is the best. We visited this centre when we arrived in town and Penny was the first person we’d met in town. She certainly set a high standard. Made us feel so welcome providing lots of valuable information. Cohuna is such a lovely town. We were disappointed when our time ran out as we loved it there. Great town catering for RV travellers. Thank you

It was a quick stop here for the toilets. But such a beautiful town, you wouldn't know exists, till you drive through it. We stopped just outside a small lake there, where the information building is. The town itself has a lot to offer too. This is another excellent place, to take a break at, while enjoying your holiday.

Great town, fantastic free camp opp o site shops. Friendly helpful lady at info centre. Welcoming locals (a man gave us all a post card). Clean well maintained town and area. Good facilities, playground, swimming area (and a pool). Highly recommended.

Excellent stop off for a world 🌎 of information about the Shire and all it has for the tourist and locals. Visit the beach ⛱️ whilst in Cohuna [no 🦈 's perfectly safe to 🏊‍♂️. Have a BBQ at one of the sheltered outdoor kitchens whilst the kids enjoy the 'flying fox' in the all new kids play area. Enjoy. Trevor Powis Cohuna Victoria Australia

Visited the Gateway Visitors Centre Cohuna, last week and was so impressed with the information supplied to us by the customer service attendant, Amanda Scullion, she was a breath of fresh air and somebody whom you could tell really enjoyed what she is doing. A lovely little town with lots to offer, we will certainly return and investigate the surrounding areas more but this time will have our caravan and stay at the RV camp area behind the visitors centre, looks great

Great wines,well priced to. Nice farm location. Owners passionate and very friendly. Called in advanced for food we got a platter. You won't be disappointed. Highly recommended. They also come to Swan Hill farmers market.

Sipping Jacks Shiraz by Restdown, a great snack platter, great hosts and an informative walking trail, Marvelous!

Don and Jo are great people. Great wines too

We had the best relaxing and wonderful experience this weekend, canoeing through the park on the still water of the Murray River. Amazing place for bird watching and rest, I love coming to this park to fully recharge!!! Definitely a must go for a chill holiday

Had a really nice day here relaxing. It has been dry for a while so the roads were solid. I wasn't in a 4x4 but made it riverside on 13inch wheels. Some deeps parts in the tracks so beware. If you are looking to escape and have some peace and quiet see some wildlife then this is a good place to go.

Good place to get away from people and enjoy nature. Some damage from the floods. Very basic facilities.

Beautiful camp-site for the whole family. Very clean and beautiful views.

Really good camping area. We stayed at the Gunbower state Forest so we could take the doggo with us. Watch out for the mozzies and millipedes.

Good boat ramp. Plenty of places to set up camp along the river.

Beautiful spot to camp along the river

What a beautiful spot for a picnic, walk around....Very informative boards on how/when/why built......only thing missing here is a coffee van/shop...so if looking for a coffee/food do stop at Torrumbarry Garage/Takeaway, about a five minute drive towards Echuca....

Lovely grass and shady picnic area and interesting facts about the weir with visitors centre also interesting.

An interesting tourist spot to stop in. The room filled with history and Information on the old original weir and the construction of the new weir is quite interesting.

Fantastic memories of water skiing here during late 70's and early eighties. Important word of advice: Don't trust ANY tree here or anywhere, esp Gum Tree, as my new 1978 Falcon Cobra Coupe was almost destroyed by a falling Gum in 40plus deg C on a perfectly still super-hot windless day. Missed my inches !

Dog friendly means constant barking day and night. Woken continually at night and then annoyed all day. I’ll will never come back. Even ear plugs won’t help.

Interesting place. Nice picnic area. Clean flushing toilets 🚻.

Very interesting. Lots of water being released at time of visit.

Must Visit! Lovely place and owners , Delicious wine. This is a place you need to visit!! 👌❤️☺️

Well worth the drive, the meads were very nice ( I bought a bottle of each) and the pottery lovely - gardens were also beautiful

It was excellent 👍

Took their golf and stay package, with unlimited golf for $99 per person per night on a twin share basis. Exceptional value. The rooms are a little tired but perfectly clean, and the beds are very comfortable. We had 2 meals while on site - dinner and breakfast and both were excellent and affordable. The golf course was in good condition and we got to play both course which were relatively quiet. The staff in the pro shop were welcoming and helpful.

We spent the day in the sports bar area with a group of 6 that turned into 10-12 people. I have never come across the most rudest bar staff in a club environment. 2 older staff members were horrendous all day. When it came to putting bets on they were unhelpful and bluntly rude. Everything was an effort for them. I was getting other staff to put bets on without a ticket but when it came to the 2 older women I was told you have to fill out a ticket. I put mystery bets on in races in advance but if the 2 older women served me I was told no you get next race. These women need to go out to the Moama RSL and Moama Bowling club to learn how to be nice to your patrons. Once the younger staff came in later in the day they were amazing. To the rude, obnoxious older dark headed women clearly you don’t want to be there so DONT. Food was absolutely beautiful and staff in the restaurant were lovely but I am in no hurry to return to that club due solely to the rudeness of those 2 women.

I did a stay and play package with friends. The accommodation was comfortable. Both golf courses were in great condition with challenging layouts of bunkers and water. The cart hire I thought was overpriced, with the amount we paid in the package it could have been discounted or even included. The pro shop staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast vouchers were given to us but unfortunately the food was underwhelming, and delivered cold. The coffee however was hot. Some of the older staff members were very rude and made our stay unpleasant. They could take a few lessons in respect and customer service from the young ones working there. After we spoke to the duty manager Aaron,who was extremely helpful and sinsere, the food and service did improve. I would rate the golf courses a 4-star.

Rich River Golf Course. This 36 hole golf / course resort . I found that overall the course is maintained to a very high standard. The greens are a reasonable size and challenging depending on where the holes are placed. The east course is still a challenging layout , and will test the good golfer. My favourite course personally is the old course, with large established red gums. The staff in the proshop are very nice, welcoming and friendly. The shop is also very well stocked with everything you need to go golfing. I highly recommend that if you are around Echuca or Moama, book in a round of golf there. ⛳️

After such great experiences just had the worst one. Tried to book a bus pick up with Narelle but was told they don’t pick up from where we are even though we’ve been picked up before 4 other times 6 min away. . Said they can pick us up maybe at 9pm then she hung up on me. Disappointed to say the least especially after we had just told our friends how wonderful it was there. 😢

Two great course. The west course was looking a bit tired in places. Fantastic greens. Definitely worth a trip. Food and service on the club left a fair bit to be desired.

Played the West course. Greens and fairways were nice. Bunkers were hard packed but most golf courses have issues there. Ours are always wet. Had a great day. Will return.

Very interesting collection of Echuca History. My partner and i who are in our mid 20’s dont typically visit museums like this, however we really enjoyed it. Staff were very welcoming and lovely.

Absolutely amazing place! The history here is just amazing. A small fee to enter, which is nothing compared to the amazing place this is. It's a wealth of knowledge. The staff are so friendly and a wealth of knowledge. Eric was such a lovely bloke, I spoke with him for over an hour about the history of Echuca. Definitely worth a visit if you want to learn all about the history of Echuca. There is more information here than the Port of Echuca museum. Amazing experience. You can also purchase books too on the history of Echuca. Thankyou for such a lovely, memorable experience.

Great volunteer run museum covering the European history of Echuca, with a range of exhibits all with useful information explaining how they fit into the history.

Very interesting many photos from over the ages. Old dresses 👗 and out back old Carr's wagons jail cells and much more

The history of Echuca is recorded here and it is worth a visit.

Located just opposite Hopwood garden playground in the heart of Echuca, this historical museum is a great place to visit for some insight in to the bygone era history of Echuca.

Really enjoyed the way it is all set up to give the history of Echuca, very busy place back in it's heyday.

As lovers of cars and all things old and nostalgic, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. It was a little muggy inside (hot day outside) but it was only a minor inconvenience. Great collection of Holdens and Holden memorabilia. Dog friendly too.

Loved our visit to the National Holden Motor Museum. As a mechanic it was great to see all the different models of Holdens from the past decades. There are also some prototype models as well as models used in the product development process. Super interesting place to visit even if you're not a car fanatic. Definitely recommend it if you're in the area or just passing through. There's also a great giftshop which has something for any car nut. Not just Holden fans.

If you’re a car fan or even interested in history the Holden Museum is a must when you’re in Echuca! There’s so much to see and you can get really close to some great and rare examples of Australian motor engineering. Ticket prices are very reasonable and you won’t be disappointed!

A great museum with a range of classic and modern Holden’s that are swapped out every couple of months. With an affordable $10 entry to the museum itself, it grants access for either a 10 minute walk-in-walk-out or more than hour of in-depth reading into the history and information of Holden. The staff are super friendly and approachable and appreciate a good conversation. Overall the National Holden Motor Museum is a must visit for car enthusiasts keen on looking into the discontinued Holden name or rather, just to kill a bit of time while visiting Echuca.

Really great place to visit even if you're not a Holden fanatic (like me). The 50 cars on display are in prime condition and laid out very well. Lots of memorabilia on display as well. The 2 guys that were on duty were friendly and didn't mind a chat. A very informative visit. 👍

Great place for adults to visit to remember their youth & appreciate the vast range of cars that were produced under the Holden banner. The entrance fee was reasonable & the owners were very good about allowing visitors to wander around at their own pace, to get close to the cars & willing to provide information when asked. Well worth a visit, even if you're not particularly interested in cars 'per se'. The evolution of design, the beauty of the vehicles & the historical aspects of the display are inestimable.

Wasn't bad, I'm not a big Holden fan, some others would love it more. That said it was interesting to see the history of Holden from before my time all in one spot. Entry price was fair and plenty of parking available.

Great district to visit. Step back in time. See and experience the old world in modern comfort. Steam Trains, Horse & carriage, Paddle Steamers - all ready to experience. Can get very busy. Bookings recommended on Peak Days

Port of Echuca feels like being transported back in time. The restored wharf, the smell of the river gums, and the creak of timber all give it a charming old-town vibe that’s hard to find elsewhere. The highlight is watching and riding the historic paddle steamers still operating on the Murray, hearing the chug of their engines and the whistle echoing off the water is pure nostalgia. Around the wharf you’ll also spot an old steam engine on display and plenty of rustic, heritage-style buildings that complete the old-school river-port atmosphere. Great place for a stroll, photography, or a ride on one of the paddleboats. A must-see if you’re in Echuca!

A great historical area focussed on the Murray River riverboats and related industries. Some of these industries are still practised here for tourists. Some good eating places and enough to fill in your day and go on a paddle boat cruise.

the Port of Echuca delivers a memorable day out that celebrates Australia’s inland waterways. The Port of Echuca, located at 74 Murray Esplanade, is a captivating riverside gem that encapsulates the rich maritime and cultural heritage of Victoria’s Murray River region. Visited on a September sunny afternoon, this historic precinct left me enchanted with its blend of nostalgia, natural beauty, and free access, making it an unmissable stop for travelers and locals alike. Often dubbed the "Paddle Steamer Capital of Australia," this vibrant hub offers a step back in time while delivering a modern-day experience that’s both educational and relaxing. The port’s free entry is a delightful surprise, allowing unrestricted exploration of its sprawling 5-hectare site along the Murray River. The star attraction is the restored wharf, a bustling hub in the 19th century when Echuca was a vital trade link between Melbourne and inland Australia. Walking the wooden planks, I marveled at the historic paddle steamers docked along the riverbank, including the iconic PS Alexander Arbuthnot and PS Emmylou, which offer paid cruises but are a sight to behold even from shore. The wharf’s interpretive signs vividly recount tales of paddle steamers hauling wool, timber, and supplies, with over 200 vessels once operating from this port. The adjacent Star Hotel, dating back to 1860, and the working blacksmith forge add authentic touches, while the Discovery Centre provides interactive exhibits on the river’s ecology and Indigenous history—perfect for families or history buffs. The setting itself is a draw, with the Murray River’s glassy waters reflecting the red gums and willow trees lining the banks. I spent time on the grassy esplanade, enjoying a spontaneous picnic with views of the historic bridge and passing houseboats, a nod to the region’s thriving tourism. The port’s layout encourages leisurely wandering, with pathways leading to the Echuca Wharf Brewery for a craft beer or the Port of Echuca Coffee Lounge for a caffeine fix. The free daily events, like the 1 PM cannon firing (weather permitting), add a lively touch, though I missed it by minutes—next time, I’ll time my visit better. Accessibility is excellent, with flat paths suitable for wheelchairs and prams, and ample parking nearby. The only minor quibble is the lack of shaded seating during peak summer heat, but the riverside breeze mitigates this. For a deeper dive, paid options like the 1-hour paddle steamer cruise ($35 adults) or the 1860s Historic Precinct entry ($15) are worth considering, but the free experience alone—spanning the wharf, gardens, and river views—offers immense value. Whether you’re drawn by the paddle steamer heritage, the chance to spot pelicans, or simply a peaceful riverside escape, the Port of Echuca delivers a memorable day out that celebrates Australia’s inland waterways.

Really pretty little place with lots to see. We did the port after dark tour too which was really interesting. I really enjoyed our Echuca stay.

Wonderful place to visit to learn about the history of Echuca-Moama area. Also gives a good idea about how steam engines revolutionized the way people worked and their day to day activities.

Great short trip down the river and back. Very pet friendly. Great people operating boat. Does have a little coffee/alcohol bar.

Was at the Echuca outlet on Friday. Mary- Anne looked after us brilliantly! Friendly, good natured, patient and accomodating. Walked away with a couple of boxes of delicious St Anne varieties. What a difference our experience has been in Echuca!! Recent trips to Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula made me think the world has changed. $15 tasting fees, non-refundable on purchase, the $15 gets you a taste of 3 wines only, cellar door prices upwards of $40 for the basic varieties and an attitude of get on with it if you're not gonna buy anything... St Anne's is nothing like this. I cannot say it strongly enough. Forget all that and head to Echuca for an old school experience. Thank you St Anne and thank you Mary Anne for restoring our faith in a quality cellar door winery experience. See you soon!

Service is provided with due care. You will be offered a wine tasting and helped to make a choice based on your preferences. The range includes many interesting options. You will be able to find a suitable option both for yourself and as a lovely gift or souvenir. I recommend visiting this place.

One of the better winery outlets in Victoria. It’s all a scam they suck you in with great friendly personalities and really helpful advice, then they get you to try their full range whist giving you a full run down and then you but lots of stuff. Ok not really a scam but it’s really a great place that’s worth visiting. The lovely girl talked to me about the barrels for 15 minutes even knowing I wasn’t buying till I get back from overseas in 3 months. I enjoyed the time here and I am looking forward to coming back. We bought up big this trip and their wines/ports are very good and that says a lot from me since I grew up in the Barossa Valley

I’ve had my Port Barrel approx 3 years, and love it. The tap started to fail, one call to St Anne’s and a new tap was delivered free of charge. Awesome service.

Beautiful wines at a reasonable price. Had a wonderful experience in wine tasting with friendly staff. Thank you Christy for a top-notch customer service!

Really nice winery, and they allow dogs in! Great stop-off to do some wine tasting (or whiskey / bourbon / ports!), when visiting Echuca and the Wharf area. Staff were very friendly and explained a lot about the wines or spirits that we were trying. The shop is great too with plenty of nice additions to the house or cellars. Great for gifts or to add to the liquor collection!

Great winery and terrific staff. Pet friendly . Told by staff I could take my dogs in.

The staff member was very helpful. Feeling a little disoriented, I eventually found my way to the information centre by walking through the souvenir shop.

Great information centre with very helpful staff. From High St walk through the Penny Arcade (sample some of their wondeful homemade fudge & ice Cream on the way). Walk through the shop and turn right to get to the Information Center.

Usually this is a great place to visit but this time found it closed I think due to renovations, there was a sign saying to look 600 meters along the road but there was a lot of traffic due to markets being on so had to watch the road and didn't see any signs about where to go. So missed out this time hopefully it will be up and running again by Christmas.

Very lovely, welcoming staff and very helpful and friendly. Thankyou.

One of the smaller information centres but full of activities, adventures etc you can do. Located in the Port of Echuca which is a hive of activity

Couldn't have gotten better service or advice anywhere. Absolutely first rate sevice.

Smallest information centre I've ever seen & the hardest to find

My 3 and 5 year old kids had a great time at Twisted Echuca. There were one or two activities out of order but enough to keep them entertained for a full two hours. My 3 year old loved the replay video and my 5 year old enjoyed working out cogs and ramps

Visited Twisted Science yesterday with my just 2 year old daughter. We had an amazing afternoon. I wasn’t sure if she was going to be a bit young, but was pleasantly surprised there was loads of things for her to do. Kept her busy for the entire session and she didn’t want to leave at the end. Had to bribe her to leave with something from the shop, which was also reasonably priced and lots of little cheap items to choose from to bribe children out the door 😂 The staff were so friendly and even got the lizard out for my daughter to pat. The facility was clean and well maintained. There were loads of different activities and things for her to do. Overall, a really really great experience

TwistED Science Echuca was fantastic! So many hands-on activities, friendly staff and plenty to keep kids entertained for hours. A great indoor option for families — highly recommend.

We had a fantastic time. Ages ranged from 8 to 80 and we all enjoyed it. I could go back again tomorrow and do things we didn't have time to do. Kids had a ball. Money very well spent.

So much fun for the adults and kids! Numerous activities for everyone to do, play and learn from. It makes the hour and half booking time go by quickly. Make sure you "stick" around til the end as you might pet some friendly creatures.

This is an amazing experience for adults and for families. The staff were so friendly and interacted with everybody. Combining with the Paddle Steamer ride makes for an economical holiday treat. Thank you.

The kids loved the experience. The paper plane test and launch station was a hit with the parents as well.
