Echuca - part 1


To celebrate Dad's birthday, we went to Echuca at the northern part of Victoria

Echuca, an Aboriginal name meaning "Meeting of the Waters" is indicative of the role rivers have played in the town's existence.[3]  Echuca is situated close to the junction of the Goulburn, Campaspe and Murray  Rivers. Its location at the closest point of the Murray to Melbourne  contributed to its development as a thriving river port city during the 19th century.


Andrew built the tent !


Echuca is located near the famous Murray River and we had a walk along.




The Caravan Park is beautiful.


It was still cold but Andrew and Ariel braved the freezing water!

We had a walk at the town center and had Indian food for dinner.
