Paddlesteamer on the Murray River, Echuca, Victoria, Australia

The temperatures over here in Echuca  (pronouced E-choo-ca)Victoria are quite a bit hotter than we are used to in Auckland, so we were out early to enjoy the cool of the early morning.  Echuca was a major river port on the Murray and the historical aspect is now quite a tourist attraction.  Luckily we didn't have to pay to get into this part of the riverfront.
