Albury to Echuca road trip: Drive time, distance & best attractions
Albury to Echuca road trip: Murray Valley National Park
On the northern bank of the river, the Murray Valley National Park’s highlight is the Reed Beds Bird Hide in Mathoura. It provides good bird-watching opportunities, but plenty of information about the species you’re seeing too.
At the end of the Albury to Echuca drive, Echuca is arguably the most engaging town on the Murray. Take a paddlesteamer cruise from the historic wharf, or an e-bike tour, then visit heritage pubs on an after-dark walking tour and tuck into one of 101 parmas at the Shamrock Hotel.
Your Echuca checklist
- Combine a one hour Murray River paddlesteamer cruise with lunch at Morrison’s Winery.
- Book a nature-focused guided e-bike tour.
- Or an extended three hour e-bike tour with a winery visit.
- Find the best deals on Echuca accommodation.
Echuca accommodation options include the marvellously central Settlement Historic Hotel, the riverside Nirebo Motel and the spacious Clocktower Suites.
