Recognised as one of Australia's finest heritage icons, the historic Port of Echuca is home to Australia's largest riverboat fleet. Built in 1865 by the Victorian Railways, the Echuca Wharf was crucial to the town's development and at its peak in 1890, it turned over 240 paddlesteamers.
The Port is open daily from 9am to 5pm, offering one hour guided tours of the Echuca Wharf, Star Hotel with its secret underground bar, historic sawmill site, and more.
