After Albury Wodonga we headed to Echuca through Sheparton. Sheparton wasn't the most welcoming town with us getting pulled over just on the way through. Nothing major and no ticket or anything but we were left very confused by our 5 minute time out issued, and a "Welcome to Victoria mate".
Echuca was a lovely town built on the Murray river and has several steam boats operating from the port as a tourism venture these days. It's a nice town to walk the streets of and we had a fantastic dinner at the RSL in Moama just next door to the caravan park we stayed in. So far the Big 4's have been more of what they've said they are and live up to a higher standard than some.
We took the kids on a paddle steamer called the Pride of the Murray and the kids got the chance to drive the boat and received a certificate for their efforts which made them very happy. http://www.emmylou.com.au/pride-of-the-murray-daily-cruises.html
Another highlight of Echuca was finding another Beechworth Bakery!! YUM YUM YUM!! and finding a caravan store that had a Handy Wash a hand powered washing bucket) and a replacement light cover that was destroyed on the state forest adventure.
