In
Echuca go to the Beer Museum it is fantastic - you can get a beer can made with your name on it - and you will see things that have you going "oh, remember when......." the owner is a real character as
well.
Drive up to the Barmah Forest and take a boat ride (unless it is flooded - I know there is a lot of
water there at the moment) - when we went, at one stage we were travelling on the river ABOVE the ground level - it was quite strange -
well worth doing. (a
good camp to stay in
Mildura is over the river at Buronga - over the bridge - turn left at the caravan
park sign - good spot - right opposite the parklands where they have the New Years Eve celebrations, and you can watch from the river bank - and pity the poor suckers struggling with the traffic, while you just have to walk back to your van or whatever.
Hatt-Kulkyne is another good place - should be lots of
water in the lake system - and (providing it is not flooded) you can
camp there.
Out of
Echuca drive up to Mathoura - Picnic Point is another good
camp spot,
Christies Beach is good - but will probably be crowded with a lot of
boaties - do a paddleboat tour on Lake Hume at Yarrawonga if you are heading near there -
Mildura - Woodies Rock
Shop is
well worth a visit -
boy - I sound like a tour guide for the area don't I - but I love the Murray and the towns and areas eather side of the river.
Have a good holiday
