At the northern end of Murray Esplanade, the stunning new Port of Echuca Discovery Centre is your gateway to the Echuca Wharf area, with excellent displays (some of them interactive) on the port's history, the paddle steamers and the riverboat trade. Guided tours set out from the discovery centre twice daily.
The wharf was built with three tiers because of the changing river levels; there are gauges marking the highest points. Original features include the sawmill and a selection of old paddle steamer rudders.
