Campaspe River, Echuca

Echuca is the area where 3 river systems connect. The Murray River from the alpine country makes it way down to the sea near Adelaide SA. Here it is joined by the Murrumbidgee from the North East and the Campaspe from the south.

Right on the high bank Campaspe, the Echuca branch of the Beechworth bakery is located in one of the old buildings. Here one can enjoy a coffee and breakfast while gazing over the river from the back deck at the bakery.

This morning is different though. On the bakery balcony there is a band playing. Part of the Riverboat Festival peripheral entertainment, we are being treated to some pleasant music while we relax with our breakfast. Soon we will head back over to the main festival area to enjoy the last day of entertainment.

The Riverboat festival has been completely booked out this year for the second time since its beginnings. Anyone thinking about coming here for this audible treat needs to book tickets and start planning early.Les mer
