Emmylou Paddle-steamer, Echuca


Spent the night on the Emmylou paddle-steamer with a few camping friends (Hutchie + Wendy, Scott + Sue and Geoff + Kay) arrived in Echuca just after lunch so we headed to the bakery where we caught up with all except Scott & Sue who were at the wharf. 

When we all found each other it was decided to buy a lotto ticket as there was some “super draw “on The Sat, this ended up being a non-event we won nothing.

While waiting to board the steamer we had a few drinks at a local pub, cars secured for the evening, bags in rooms and all ready for dinner on the back deck. Nice dinner, drinks at reasonable prices at the bar and during the evening Linda was crook but as always came good (we think wine) was the culprit. 

Dropped all the dinner guests off around 9pm then those staying overnight which was only 12 people we set for a river bank up stream where a fire was lit by the Captain, a few drinks were consumed and bed around midnight. A humorous night as usual with a great bunch of people we tend to go camping with often


Woke up around 6:30am as we wanted to see the sunrise, just about everyone had the same idea as the sun rise was quite nice, no clouds and the rising sun behind the Emmylou looked quite spectacular (something we will probably not do again) 

Breakfast on the deck, and quite a good breakfast it was. Back to dock @9am off the boat picked up the cars and home within the hour
