Step aboard the Paddle Steamer Melbourne, a century-old gem cruising the Murray River since 1913. Built in Koondrook and launched as a public works boat, it played a vital role in clearing the river and supporting infrastructure. Reconfigured as a passenger steamer by 1966, it now offers unforgettable cruises from Mildura, showcasing the river’s history, flora, and fauna through live commentary. With a 98-foot hull, a twin-cylinder steam engine, and capacity for 300 passengers, the PS Melbourne, now revitalized by Echuca Shipwright Adam Auditori (2024), delivers a unique blend of heritage, adventure, and scenic beauty.
