In the 1860s to the early 1900's, Echuca was a bustling port with paddlesteamers ferrying people and goods all through the the Murray, Darling and Murrumbidgee River systems. • By the early 1970's, the port was derelict and unused. The council of the day decided that its paddlesteamer heritage was unique and started restoration of the port. • Today the paddlesteamers are making a comeback. Many old sunken boats are being repaired to their former glory. • Kevin Hutchinson is a Shipwright who has played a large role in the paddlesteamer revival. • Echuca is a great example of how rural towns can use their heritage to establish tourism. • Videos, travel advice and more: http://overlander.tv • Like Overlander on Facebook: http://fb.com/overlander.tv • Follow Overlander on Twitter: / overlandertv • Instagram Travel Photos: / overlandertv
