A looong list of off-river experiences

Although everyone loves the river, it is times like these that remind us to appreciate the many other amazing experiences our region has to offer.

There are so many other fabulous experiences here that probably don’t get the airtime they should when the river is hogging the limelight, so now’s a great time to discover these lesser-known treasures.

See our great list of attractions, art experiences and sport and recreation options (barefoot bowls anyone?) below.

We guarantee you’ll be spoilt for choice!

Shopping

Echuca’s city centre and Historic Port shopping precincts provide a wide range of unexpected, quirky and boutique treasures which would be great Christmas gifts for friends and family. Why not visit this weekend and get all your Christmas shopping done and dusted?! 

Food, glorious food (and wine, beer, gin, etc)

From fine dining to fish and chips, the best black pudding around, mouth-watering bagels and BLTs, our region has a wide range of dining options to suit every tastebud. Have a look for yourself!

Trail it!

Whether it’s art, history, agriculture, heritage or simply backroads that are your “thang”, there is a trail made just for you. These trails will take you on a journey of discovery, with lots of friendly people to meet (and fascinating facts to learn) along the way:

Echuca Moama Silo Art Trail 

Campaspe Arts Trail 

Campaspe History Trail (excl. the paddlesteamer ride for now) 

Long Paddock Trail 

The Backroads Trail  (Please note parts of this trail are weather dependent)
