Day 3 - All about paddlesteamers

A relaxing day in Echuca wandering around the Port of Echuca and riding in the Pevensey, a 100 year old paddle wheel steamship. Originally a barge, she was converted to a steamer and held the record for most bales of wool delivered to the port in 1887. This was the height of the Port's trade when they transhipped 72,000 bales of wool to Melbourne for ultimate sale in London.

Went down to Horseshoe Lagoon and walked around the tracks taking snaps of the lagoon and the River Redgums
