We pulled into Echuca before lunch, with just enough time to grab a bite to eat and jump aboard the PS Pevensey for a cruise down the river. The kids enjoyed jumping around on the wool bails onboard, thankfully it wasn't crowed as this kept them entertained for the hour we were on board, Sam however really didn't like the loud whistle from the Paddlesteamer and nearly jumped out of his skin every time it blew.

After our Paddlesteamer ride we walked through the Port and found the playground for the kids to have a run and to have some afternoon tea. By this time we were all pretty exhausted and we headed back to the car to go and find our campsite for the night - another free camp about 8km out of town right on the river again.

| What a beautiful spot to do some drawings and colouring |

| Time for some fishing - unfortunately no one was biting |
Although this was a beautiful spot it was not the most relaxing spot to camp with kids, with a 5 meter drop down to the water, but the kids were kept busy with dirt play and drawings and watching all the water-ski boats fly by.
Our second day in Echuca we headed into town to do some shopping and have a wander down main street browsing through some shops, the kids favourite shop was the lolly shop where we bought a few treats.
We have been so blessed with beautiful weather since we left Sydney and in Echuca it was hot, so after we had finished in town we headed back to camp, changed into our swimmers and headed down the road a bit further to "Christie's beach" for a swim.
