Almost all of the self-guided Port of Echuca Museum and Wharf experience is wheelchair accessible. There is one section (roughly 5 minutes or less) of the daily Guided Tours that is not accessible. This is when the group goes underneath the Star Hotel to the underground bar. If you are happy to wait above ground at the entrance of the Star Hotel, tour guides will always come back and pick you up for the rest of the tour.  Paddlesteamer cruises can generally be accessed with assistance from staff during the boarding and disembarking process - as access can be dependent on river levels and which boat is cruising on the day we always recommend speaking to the friendly staff at the Port of Echuca Musuem for advice.
