Echuca Hotels
Set among ancient gum trees on the stunning Murray River, 224 km from Melbourne, the twin river towns of Echuca in Victoria and Moama in NSW are two of Australia's best kept secrets.
Discover Echuca
A town formed by ex-convict Henry Hopwood in 1850, Echuca became vital to the success of Australia's agricultural industries as it opened the inland to transport goods and wool to the wider world.
Quickly becoming the largest inland port in Australia, hundreds of riverboats plied the Murray waters in the latter half of the 1800s. With the introduction of rail and improving roads and various economic depressions, the steamers were silenced by the 1920s. Thankfully they were never forgotten, and the twin towns of Echuca and Moama have been transformed into vibrant centres that celebrate both their unique river history and bright future.
