Echuca Wharf included in National Heritage ListEchuca Wharf is an outstanding survivor of the booming Murray River trade of the late 1800s. It attests to the critical role that the river trade played in the pastoral boom and in the rapid economic growth and development of the colonies during this time. Towering three storeys high, the wharf's height allowed for a ten metre variation in the winter and summer levels of the Murray and enabled a year round unloading of goods.
