Melbourne And Surrounds

Hello, this is a blog about Melbourne and the surrounding areas. We'll be looking at Melbourne CBD, suburbs and further afield. So come with me as we explore country roads, wineries and farmers markets, old fashioned shops with an aura of yesteryear. The Victorian countryside is full of wonderful little towns and quaint shops, just the thing for a Sunday outing.
Cheers.

Echuca


The historic Port of Echuca is 214 km and just over 2 hours drive north of Melbourne and lies on the mighty Murray River and is home to Australia's largest fleet of authentic paddlesteamers. Echuca is an Aboriginal word meaning "Meeting of the Waters".

When staying in Echuca, free courtesy shuttles will take you across the border to Moama in NSW to the gaming venues. Enjoy a night out at the RSL, the Bowling Club, or the Sports Club and have a flutter and an inexpensive dinner.
