Echuca's proximity to Melbourne and the ambitions of our founders, led to our Echuca becoming Australia's largest inland port during the peak of the 1850s paddlesteamer. Our world-famous riverboat trade was of national importance, opening inland Australia for settlement and trade and today's iconic Port of Echuca wharf and precinct pays homage to this fascinating past.
