Emmylou (Square)

The Emmylou paddle steamer holds a significant place in the history of Echuca, Australia.

With its charming Victorian-era design and luxurious amenities, the Emmylou paddle steamer continues to capture the imagination of locals and tourists alike, preserving the legacy of Echuca's riverboat era.
