Historic Port
The most wonderful thing about Echuca is its Historic Port. Attractions are spread along the waterfront, and you buy a passport at the entrance that admits you to the three main sections: Echuca Wharf, the Star Hotel and the Bridge Hotel. Everything is original – you’re exploring living history as you walk along the pedestrian-only Murray Esplanade. Complimentary (and very entertaining) guided tours with Buster and Rocky the cocky set out from the gift shop.

Historic Port of Echuca
Echuca's star attraction is the old port area, where paddle steamers dock and you really feel transported back to the heyday of the river. It's not a theme park – everything here is original.
In the wharf's cargo shed, dioramas depict life on the river boats and restored historic paddle steamers are moored alongside the wharf. Across the road at the Star Hotel (1867) you can escape through the underground tunnel that helped drinkers avoid the police when the pub was a 'sly grog shop'.
At the Bridge Hotel, built by Harry Hopwood in 1859, your ticket admits you to a historic upstairs recreation of a 19th-century home. Downstairs the Bridge is a pub and restaurant.
