  • Day 2
    Today i go for a ride on the PS EMMYLOU (Paddle steamer).
    Emmylou is now the only wood fired Paddle steamer in the world
    This is the main reason for my trip up to Echuca, & today i take you all on a modern day Paddle steamer to experience a bit of the Murray River history.
    It was all that i expected & more, to take a ride on the EMMYLOU.
    It is the most recognisable Steamer on the river.

    I used to spend Christmas in torrumbarry with my family as kid during the late 70s & 80s so we used to see the boats every day. Great vid😁👍

    I love how the flagpole is just a stick. lol. 16 horse engine to push that...wow. Seems like living on a houseboat around that area would be the way to go. :) That "3 point turn" was really cool. Crazy how things are so completely different on different sides of an invisible line. Cool vid, man !! You're getting in some good sightseeing !!

      That was something i wanted to do for so long, a tick off the bucket list. Echuca is a beautiful place, even in winter. I hope you can get back there too : )

    That was awesome mate, thanks for sharing! Echuca really does seem to be caught in time a little, which is a great thing!

      You would have had a ball up there, it's a nice part of the world. I wonder if your grandparents knew Roy Higgins (the jockey) was born there. Take care G : )
