点评:The Port of Echuca Discovery Centre is a "Must See" experience when in the Moama/Echuca region. The Discovery Centre is the booking office for some of the paddlesteamers operating out of Echuca, our tickets for a 1 hour ride on PS Adelaide cost $32 each, our dog got his K9 Cargo ticket for $0 and it was especially made out to him. During the 1 hour ride the Skipper was giving a running commentary, telling us about the history of paddlesteamers on the Murray, the massive Echuca wharf and other aspects of the river trade.
The discovery Centre also houses a very interesting museum and outside in the wharf precinct is an operating steam engine, a reconstruction of an old timber mill, an old barge and other items from years ago. There is also a guided walking tour of the Port Precinct available, well worth doing to learn more history of Echuca.
翻译:来到莫阿马/埃丘卡地区,埃丘卡港探索中心绝对是“必游”景点。探索中心是部分从埃丘卡出发的明轮船的售票处。我们乘坐阿德莱德港明轮船一小时的船票每张32澳元,而我们的爱犬K9货运船的船票是0澳元,而且还是特意为它买的。在一小时的船程中,船长一直在现场解说,向我们讲述默里河明轮船的历史、宏伟的埃丘卡码头以及其他内河贸易的方方面面。
探索中心还设有一个非常有趣的博物馆,码头区外有一台仍在运转的蒸汽机、一座旧木材厂的复原品、一艘旧驳船以及其他一些多年前的文物。此外,这里还提供港口区导览徒步游,非常值得一游,可以深入了解埃丘卡的历史。
