Echuca

Victoria

Australia

Unwind and recharge as you explore nearly 200 kilometers of the Murray River over four nights. Learn about the region and its history, including how paddle steamers propelled Echuca into the largest inland port in Australia. Enjoy onshore tours that take you to the Torrumbarry Weir, historic Perricoota Station, Restdown Winery, and Barmah Wetlands. Dine by the river under the stars of the Southern constellations." 
            

Day 1

As you depart Echuca and steam downstream, enjoy an afternoon Devonshire tea, take in the sights and sounds of the river and get to know your fellow cruisers. There’s ample time to chat with the skipper in the wheelhouse to learn about PS Emmylou, her river history or simply relax in your private cabin. When the sun begins to set, this marks the start of ‘Happy Hour’. Enjoy a drink in the saloon before a chef-prepared welcome dinner. Listen to the river birds’ evening chorus and watch for kangaroos, wombats, and many species of birds as the stars begin to appear. Tonight, we moor at the famous Perricoota Station, the property first settled by James Maiden in 1843, and famous for starring in the TV mini series “All the River Run” where PS Emmylou was renamed PS Providence.

Day 2

After a hearty breakfast, it’s off to Restdown Winery, producers of fine organic wines and Hereford beef. Join the property’s owners for a guided tour along a 1.4km wetlands walking trail, highlighting items of great Aboriginal significance before a gourmet lunch of local produce and wine tastings. Once back on board, the Emmylou continues its downstream journey, where we dock near Torrumbarry Weir, visit the Interpretive Centre, learn about the Murray Darling Basin and get up close and personal with the impressive weir. 

Day 3

After breakfast, Emmylou gracefully pivots and steams back upstream towards Perricoota Station. There we head off on a half-day excursion to the small town of Barmah, just 30 mins away. Nowhere else in the world can you experience such timeless, natural beauty as when gliding through the world-heritage listed Barmah Wetlands on an eco-cruise. As you slip quietly across the water in the dappled shade of towering River Red Gums, it will be no surprise as to why the wetlands are named ‘Wetlands of International Importance’.

Upon returning to the Emmylou, the skipper will invite you to walk alongside the historical buildings and immaculate gardens of Perricoota Station to the impressive homestead and learn about property’s history which was once the area’s largest sheep farm and fruit orchard. It’s then time to relax as we continue our cruise upriver towards our overnight mooring at Deep Creek. 

Day 4

PS Emmylou departs early today for a full day of cruising towards our Layfield Lane mooring. Breakfast can be served on the deck or in the saloon, with plenty of time to relax with a good book or just take in the river views.

Tonight, we enjoy a delicious spread from Pacdon Park UK Smallgoods for entrée before a grand dinner on the riverbank – our signature Australian BBQ, lit up by candles on the tables and stars in the sky. After dinner enjoy casual conversation around the campfire, before retiring for the evening.

Day 5

This morning before breakfast early rises can enjoy
a riverside stroll before PS Emmylou then departs
for the Port of Echuca where we reluctantly say
