It is home to approximately 14,500 people. The city of Echuca is the closest settlement on the Murray River to Melbourne. Named after the Aboriginal word for ‘the meeting of the waters’, the historic Port of Echuca sits on the junction of the Murray and Campaspe rivers and just downstream from the Goulburn River. It is Australia’s Paddle Steamer capital. Echuca was once the state’s most substantial inland river port. Paddle steamers traded along the Murray and Darling Rivers almost as far as the Queensland border and brought their cargoes of wool to Echuca for transport to the Port of Melbourne. Echuca’s largest industries nowadays are Manufacturing, retail, accommodation and health. 3 ATTRACTIONS, CULTURE AND CLIMATE: The world’s biggest fleet of operating paddle steamers is based at Echuca and each has its own history and character. A small section of the original red gum wharf still remains today, preserved as part of the recreated Port Of Echuca tourist attraction. Along with the wharf the port features a museum, historic buildings, equipment displays, demonstrations and cruises on paddle steamers. Heritage buildings house shops and cafes, including the 1864 Star Hotel with its underground escape tunnel. The town also hosts one of world's biggest water ski festivals ‐ the Southern 80, as well as a number of festivals including: the Riverboats Music Festival; and the Winter Blues Festival. The Echuca region has a temperate climate. Summers are hot and dry, spring and autumn are typically warm, whilst winter mornings that are cold and frosty turn in to bright sunny days. Season Average maximum Average minimum Summer 30.6 C 15.2 C Winter 13.4 C 3.9 C Echuca’s warm climate and location make it a popular destination for swimming, boating and fishing. It is also the joining place for the Barmah National Park (VIC) and the Murray valley National Park (NSW), which forms the world's largest river red gum forest. Located within the old police station, built in 1869, is the Echuca Historical Society Museum housing a priceless collection of memorabilia from the paddlesteamer era and early life in Echuca. The old Bond Store is home to Sharps Magic Movie House & Penny Arcade ‐ a 1930s amusement arcade with classic machines you can play games on Other notable attractions include: Beechworth Bakery; National Holden Motor Museum – Australia’s largest collection of Holdens; and the Great Aussie Beer Shed – a museum of beer and brewery history. 4 GETTING AROUND ECHUCA: Getting around Echuca is easy, roads are well signposted and easy to navigate.

  • Dry Seasonal Conditions in Rural Victoria
    Department of Primary Industries Dry Seasonal Conditions in Rural Victoria Report: 51 September 22, 2005 Environmental Indicators Rainfall August rainfall totals were close to normal. Over winter as a whole, rainfall was somewhat above normal in the North East and in East Gippsland, somewhat below normal in Central Victoria and in West Gippsland, and near to normal elsewhere. August had a warm spell at the end of the month following the widespread snow on the 10th. Overall daytime temperatures were 1°C above average and nightime temperatures were about average. For the 6-month period from March to August, serious to severe rainfall deficiencies extend from the far southeast of South Australia across southwest and south-central Victoria to west Gippsland. The deficiencies over southern Victoria are not as extensive or intense as they were at the end of July. The most significant rainfall in September occurred through the second week and varied from 0-5 mm in the north west to over 100 mm in pockets of the North East (Figure 1). The seasonal rainfall outlook for October to December indicates an increased likelihood of below median falls over parts of southern Victoria for the December quarter. Chances of above median rainfall are between 30 and 40% in a band extending from the far southeast of South Australia to West Gippsland. This includes most of the areas that have suffered severe short-term rainfall deficiencies since the start of autumn, and a general downturn in rainfall since the mid 1990s. The chances of a wetter than average season are between 40 and 50% over the rest of the State.

  • Review of Boating Safety on the Murray River
    REVIEW OF BOATING SAFETY ON THE MURRAY RIVER PAPER FOR PUBLIC COMMENT Message from the Minister Keeping people safe on our waterways is paramount – it is the most important part of my responsibilities as Minister for Waterways. It is not enough to simply regulate or impose restrictions – we must look at intelligent solutions to complex problems. In the Murray River region the number of incidents, injuries and fatalities is simply too high. Between 1 December 2009 and 13 February 2010 there were seven serious incidents and four fatalities. Having visited the area and seen the complexities first- hand, it is clear the solution must be targeted, pragmatic and, importantly, driven by the people who use the waterway. That’s why this review is so important. It is our opportunity to make the Murray region a safer place for all waterway users. I encourage everyone with an interest in the area to read the facts, consider the solution and work together to make the Murray a fun, safe and responsible place to be on the water. The Hon Paul McLeay MP Minister for the Illawarra Minister for Ports & Waterways Minister for Mineral & Forest Resources RIVER MURRAY REVIEW 1 Executive summary The Murray River and its associated waterways provide important recreational opportunities for boaters from NSW and Victoria. The river waters fall under the jurisdiction of NSW and boating is managed by NSW Maritime. As the river also forms the border between NSW and Victoria, this waterway is used by the boating communities of both states and therefore safety requires a cooperative approach.
