On the water

Boats sleep couples to whole family reunions, and driving them needs no licence — just the briefing and a map of the good beaches. Days end moored to a sandbank with a fire bucket on the beach and cockatoos winding down in the gums.

Around Moama and Echuca

The twin towns hold Australia’s biggest paddle-steamer fleet, historic Echuca wharf, clubs and river-red-gum forests both directions — the Murray here is a destination in itself, five minutes off the Cobb Highway.
