Paddlesteamer capital of the world
Today, you can visit Moama Bowling Club AND enjoy this wonderful heritage.
Echuca boasts the largest operating paddlesteamer fleet in the world – and shows it off with night-time sailpasts and spectacular fireworks at the authentically restored wharf.
But a riverboat cruise and a port tour are only two of a hundred things you can do and see in these friendly twin towns, just two and a half hours’ drive from Melbourne.
Many of the fascinating maritime buildings have been re-created as cafes, restaurants, cellar doors, boutiques, museums and attractions, standing alongside old-style pubs, horse-drawn carriage rides and traditional tradesmen such as the woodturner and blacksmith.
By contrast, wining and dining in Echuca-Moama is as new as tomorrow. Skilled chefs work their magic on the best meats, fruits, vegetables and grains from regional farms, their dishes complemented by wines from around the world and from the area’s own thriving Perricoota Wine District.
Everyone loves Echuca-Moama, home of Moama Bowling Club!
Our twin towns comprise of one of the most important and exciting heritage tourism destinations in Australia.
