THIS IS OUR STORY... BE PART OF IT!
Set on the banks of Dhungala, the Murray River, Echuca Moama is where River Life runs deep. Australia’s most iconic river shapes the rhythm of every day here, but it’s only part of the story. Echuca has been crowned the 2026 Victorian Top Tourism Town, and in the top three destinations

in Australia, for its heritage streets, riverside dining, nature-rich adventures and vibrant events. Echuca Moama comes together as a destination that feels both relaxed and full of possibility and invites you to come and explore for yourself.
A sacred place for tens of thousands of years to the Yorta Yorta people, vital in the establishment of trade between the Australian states following European settlement, and a place that runs through the blood of so many Australians, the mighty Murray River is revered as one of our country’s most legendary natural icons. Winding its path across 2,600km of the Victorian, New South Wales and South Australian landscape, the Murray is one of the longest navigable rivers in the world, the lifeblood of the surrounding agricultural industry, and a place of spirituality and connection for many who visit its waters.
YO R TA YO R TA CO U N T RY The Yorta Yorta people are the traditional owners and custodians of the land we now call Echuca Moama. The waters of Dhungala (the Murray River) are sacred to the Yorta Yorta people, with many of their beliefs, traditions and stories extending from it. The Barmah-Millewa forest is a place where large communities lived. The river and forest provided a year-round food source and resources for shelter, weapons, canoes and other equipment.
EUROPEAN SET TLEMENT Echuca’s development is largely credited to ex-convict, Henry Hopwood, who crossed the Murray in 1853 and gained a licence to occupy a parcel of land near the Murray and Campaspe River junction. He operated a small punt across the river, and later a pontoon bridge, which catered for the increasing movement of livestock between Victoria and New South Wales. Settlement began in Moama in 1845, and developed rapidly due to the livestock market. James Maiden established a punt across the river and the area became a thriving cattle market and crossing place. In 1853, Captain William Randell became the first person to travel upstream on a paddlesteamer from Goolwa, South
Australia to Moama, arriving on the Mary Ann. The trip was the beginning of the boat building and riverboat trade era that saw the region flourish.
www.visitechucamoama.com.au | 9
T H E R I V E R B OAT T R A D E
The riverboat trade exploded in the 1860s, and by 1872 the Port of Echuca was clearing 240 boats annually. Echuca became the second largest port in Victoria and the largest inland port in Australia. The riverboats were vital in opening up trade between the states, however were superseded by the expansion of the rail system in the late 1880s. A number of original paddlesteamers continue to operate in Echuca Moama today.
The region is home to the world’s largest operating paddlesteamer fleet, and the oldest operating wooden hulled paddlesteamer, the 1866 PS Adelaide.
PORT OF ECHUCA The Port of Echuca is a living monument to the 1870s and the boom of the riverboat trade. Echuca was the third largest port in the country, outside Melbourne and Sydney, and the main ship building centre for the river transport industry. At its peak, the 1865 wharf was over 300m long and supported eight red gum saw mills. It was made famous in the TV series All the Rivers Run. Today, it is a place where you can learn about the early pioneering days, view steam-powered exhibits, take a paddlesteamer cruise, and visit the surrounding historic shopfronts, pubs and cafes. 10 | Visitor Information Freecall 1800 804 446
T H E S TO RY CO N T I N U E S … Today, Echuca Moama is home to more than 23,000 people and is a tourism favourite, welcoming more than 1.5 million visitors each year. Alongside tourism, the region is famous for its agricultural industry, national parks and forests, wine regions, and vibrant food scene. While our story will always begin and end with the river, there is so much more to explore, and we invite you to be part of that story.
