FRIDAY 19 – TUESDAY 23 MARCH 2027

It’s not known as ‘The Mighty Murray’ for nothing … this mighty river plays such an important part of our history, not just our long term history but it still plays such an important part today.

Departing Melbourne we head north along the Hume Highway to Albury, our home for the first two nights of our tour. We visit the Hume Dam, a major dam across the Murray River downstream of its junction with the Mitta River, the dam’s purpose includes flood mitigation, hydro-power, irrigation, water supply and conservation. We also visit the Bonegilla Migrant centre, the Bonegilla story began in the years following World War II, when millions of people seeking a new start and peace, and plays such an important part in Australia’s multi cultural fabric.

From Albury we make our way towards Echuca passing through Mulwala and Yarrawonga, we take a cruise on Lake Mulwala. This stunning man-made reservoir created through the construction of the Yarrawonga Weir across the Murray River with its ghostly river red gums provides for a unique scenic experience. We will explore all things paddlesteamers in Echuca including cruising down he mighty Murray.

The last day of the tour we head back to Melbourne via Bendigo where we visit the iconic Bendigo Pottery together with the Golden Dragon museum,
