Echuca is a town on the banks of the Murray River and Campaspe River in Victoria. The border town of Moama is adjacent on the northern side of the Murray River in NSW.
Echuca is the administrative centre for the area. Population is about 15,000 people and combined with Moama just over 21,000 people.
Echuca is a popular tourist place, you can catch a paddle steamer to go for a cruise up the Murray River, unfortunately these days you can't get to see a paddle steamer from the banks.
The photos are of a small part of the Murray River which is rather dirty and you can see the level of water is down.
So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's rather good.
DeleteThe water level is really down. The local is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.
Hugs and all the best
Thanks Maria - was in the drought last year.
DeleteReally pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt's not too bed Natalia.
Deleteohh wow!!Beautiful!I have only seen Australia in -crocodill dundee so this is nice!
ReplyDeleteAre there crocks there ??Very nice blogpost!
Oh ok.
DeleteNo crocks there as it's a cooler climate, crocks like it warm :)
What a beautiful place. Lots to do there if a person is interested, I'd rent a canoe for a few hours and paddle around.
ReplyDeleteOh yes Bill, there is a lot to do in the town and surrounds.
DeleteThat water level was way down. I hope it has recovered (at least a bit). I would love to go on a paddle boat. Some day...
ReplyDeleteThe water level is low in the photos, was rather surprised to see that way, but then there was a drought on.
DeleteWe've had several friends go on a paddle steamer cruise and enjoyed it.
The name Ecucha sounds nice to me.
ReplyDeleteThe river, has obviously seen better days.
Hopefully rain will fill it up again!
Unusual name is Ecucha, always have trouble spelling it :)
DeleteThat river goes a very long way and is classed as the border between Victoria and New South Wales (NSW)
Eso del crucero, debe de estar muy bien. siempre me ha gustado, dar un paseo en barco.
ReplyDeleteBesos
Some friends have been on a cruise and all said it was lovely.
DeleteLoved your photographs … a beautiful looking place.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thanks Jan.
DeleteI like that last picture-- the way the eucalyptus trees look etched into the landscape.
ReplyDeleteThey are nice those trees.
DeleteSuch lovely photos of a lovely place
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo-Anne.
DeleteThe water level wasn't particularly low when we were there a number of years ago but I was amazed at the different wharf levels, built to cater for different river heights. The highest was amazingly high and it was hard to imagine the river being that high, but obviously it must have been so at times.
ReplyDeleteDifferent areas have different heights, you are correct on that.
DeleteThe water level didn't look good when we were there.
This is beautiful place to visit dear Margaret
ReplyDeleteYour captures are stunning specially third one seems painting to me
Dirty or clean water has magical apeal
Thanks Baili. Even a puddle of water can be fun :)
Delete:)
ReplyDeleteAn interesting, beautiful example of our beautiful country. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Lee.
DeleteA lovely place to visit. Love the country scene. Have a great new week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy.
DeleteThe water levels do seem pretty low. Was there still sufficient depth for navigation by the paddle steamer?
ReplyDeleteMust have been because we saw one downstream..
DeleteSchöne Bilder vom Fluss schade das der Wasserstand so niedrig ist.

Thanks Noke.
DeleteHope the level is higher now after rains.
The water level of the river looks far better than I expected to see.
ReplyDeleteShould be way up again after the rains of the last couple of months.
Echuca is a very friendly town and there sure is plenty of see/visit in this region of the Murray River.
Colin
Hopefully the water has risen by now.
DeleteWe like Echuca and stayed longer this visit.
That's a beautiful place
ReplyDeleteThanks and more to come.
DeleteSe ve muy bien el río, espero que pronto esté lleno. Besos Margaret.
