PS EMMYLOU/Echuca Trip

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😁👍

[@BOBBER400]

That would have been a great time for you. Those river towns are excellent, thanks Steven : )

[@russiannorth2440]

[@ritasimpson2841]

The paddle steamers are amazing to be on love to get back over and ride them again enjoy

[@BOBBER400]

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 : )

Loved it L, its a beautiful place there and i heard it was built in Koondrook where my grandparents lived and we spent many a holiday up there 😁👍🏼

[@BOBBER400]

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 : )

@@BOBBER400 Im sure they would of L, its a small town and everyone seemed to know everyone 😁

[@tipsytrippinrednecks]

Heck yeah thats bloody wicked so cool cheers

[@BOBBER400]

Thank you m8 : )

[@HarleyThrottleJuice]

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

[@BOBBER400]

It's a great little town that has thumbed it's nose at modern society, lots of heritage buildings : )

[@RandysRides]

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 !!

[@BOBBER400]

Every time we come out of lockdowns i've vowed to go somewhere far away, once we get out of this one i'm going gold detecting. Cheers m8 : )

@@BOBBER400 Have they given melbourne a date when your all allowed out on remand then?

[@BOBBER400]

@@karenhannible4951 no, apparently when we hit 70% vaccination rate we may be allowed 10klms radius from home address. Here in Melbourne, Victoria is worse than living in a communist country atm.

[@Meatcleaver101]

The boats look fairly well maintained

[@BOBBER400]

Yes the one i was on was very clean & looked spectacular, although it is the newest boat. Take care m8 : )

[@Meatcleaver101]

A couple of questions mate.. How long did it go for, what did it cost, did you get fed and was your coke laced with father Bob's special wake up juice?

[@BOBBER400]

It went for two hrs & it cost under $30.00, there are lunch & dinner cruises & yes Jim Beam. Well worth it i think : )
