Moama NSW

After a much needed sleep in, we slowly found our way to the iconic Aussie Beer Shed & Heritage Farm Museum on the outskirts of Echuca, showcasing an eclectic collection of memorabilia from beer cans and all things beer, to old Aussie household items, old petrol bowsers, a Coca Cola collection, old farm machinery, a car shed and even a partially restored WW1 canon.

The introductory tour by owner and self professed lunatic Neil Thomas was entertaining with quirky stories and audience participation. The kids learnt the truth about pokie machines experiencing first hand the unlikely chances of winning - except for Josh who somehow defied the odds 🤦🏽‍♀️ Apparently the one old demonstration machine, despite daily activity, hasn’t paid out a jackpot in the past 20 years!

Among the 20,000 odd beer cans from Australia and around the world, we did giggle at the Tennent’s Lager Lovelies range from the 1960s and 1970s. The evocative cans remain one of the most popular promotional campaigns of all time, combining sex appeal with beer in a way that has never been matched - and hopefully never will! I did have to wonder if it was just a coincidence that my name appeared twice 🫢😉

It was a truly unique tourist attraction rated No. 1 on TripAdvisor 🤨 Plus did I mention I found both how to manage men and the key to happiness 😁 #wheninechuca

We spent the afternoon at Moama Beach, a lovely recreation reserve on the NSW side of the Murray River, before celebrating our last night in the twin border towns at the American Hotel where ironically we had one of the best Aussie beef steaks of the trip!Leggi altro
