Day 1
|
Departing Echuca downriver, enjoy a welcome afternoon tea with freshly made Australian scones, jam & cream with tea and coffee as you begin to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the river. Time to relax or take the opportunity to chat with the Engineer and Skipper in the wheelhouse about the rich history of the river and PS Emmylou. As the sun starts to set over the river, time for an evening cocktail before your chef-prepared welcome dinner. Listen to the river bird’s evening chorus, watch for kangaroos, wombats, egrets, and many other species of birds as the stars begin to appear.
Tonight, we moor at the famous Perricoota Station. Rich in history, the property was first settled by James Maiden in 1843, and famous for starring in the TV movie “All the River Run” where PS Emmylou was renamed PS Providence.
Day 2

Wake to an early morning walk along the riverbank, home to native birds, plants and wildlife before enjoying breakfast. This morning golfers depart for their 1st 18 holes of golf at Rich River Golf Club with non golfers departing on a half day excursion travelling 30 minutes to the small town of Barmah. Here you depart on your guided Eco Cruise, where you can get up close to Australian nature and wildlife. Nowhere else in the world can you experience such timeless, natural beauty and peace as when you are gliding through the World-Heritage listed Barmah Wetlands aboard the MV Kingfisher. You will understand why they have been named “ Wetlands of International Importance” as you slip quietly across the water in the dappled shade of towering gums of the world’s largest single stand of River Red Gum.
We then enjoy a traditional Australian picnic lunch riverside before we continue to Pacdon Park, makers of fine UK small goods where you can sample their fine assortment of produce. We then visit the region’s largest winery, St Anne’s where you will enjoy a short winery tour provided by the owners and then taste their fabulous table and fortified wines.
Time to relax in the afternoon sun as Emmylou continues cruising now back upstream. Tonight, it is time to dress up a little and enjoy a traditional 3 course Dinner with all the trimmings. Enjoy complimentary wines and beers. After dinner, it’s Movie Night, with a special presentation of ‘Riverboats Remembered’ a fabulous historical presentation about the riverboats of the mid 1850’s along the Murray
River. You are then welcome to join your fellow passengers around the roaring campfire to watch the stars appear in the stunning night sky before
retiring for the evening. Overnight at Layfield Lane
