Story
About this place
Echuca’s wharf was built high so it could still work the Murray in flood, with three decks of redgum piles and a goods shed on top. Wool, wheat and timber left here for Goolwa and the railway. This 2007 photograph shows the piles and the shed, with paddle steamers underneath.
