Echuca Moama…..Why not???
“Echuca” is reputed to mean “the meeting of the waters”; for me it means the meeting of the people. For Echuca Moama people are its lifeblood. Business, trade and the residents keep it alive, interesting and welcoming; the constant stream of returning visitors, drawn by our unique Port and Paddlesteamer fleet, our top class eating venues, our excellent Clubs on both sides of the river Murray, our sporting facilities and the availability of every style of visitor accommodation, make it the place to be and to return to.

For us as residents of Echuca Moama there are many Clubs, Associations and activities to be found and enjoyed. In our immediate environment we have history, nature, wildlife parks and watersport and cultural activities catering to every age group. Add to these advantages comprehensive medical and educational facilities for our ongoing welfare and, last of all, we are only two hours away from Melbourne, the snow and the mountains in Winter and the beach in Summer, so why would you want to be or live anywhere else?

My name is Kevin Hutchinson and I have worked at the Port of Echuca for 35 years, in that time five paddlesteamers and two barges have been restored. I invite you to come to Echuca and see our latest project, the PS Success built in Moama in 1877, you will be able to see close up how they were built and now how they are restored and watch the progress. Echuca has the biggest collection of genuine paddlesteamers in the world, so why not come and see us, have a look, and take a ride on the real thing. 
I look forward to meeting you at the Port of Echuca.

Kevin Hutchinson OAM.

Echuca is home. 
Echuca is early morning sun rising from the river gums and wonderful sunsets over the western plains.
Galahs flying out at sunrise, the sun shining on their colourful plumage, screeching corellas swirling overhead, and all this again at dusk.
Winter frosts with a sunny day following.
A shower of rain after a hot dry dusty day, again the galahs put on a show and what a lovely fresh aroma.
Through all this the 2 rivers run, and returning from a long holiday is it imagination or do we note the scent of the rivers long before we actually approach them???
The perfume of coming home to Echuca
Echuca is also where we have choices
Dining out at wonderful restaurants
Shopping as good as anywhere 
Clubs, sporting facilities and history to match any elsewhere
When we're unwell great health facilities, where your friends can visit easily
Schools we're spoilt for choice.
