Moama is located on the NSW side of the Murray River and is across the water from the Echuca. The towns were once busy river ports and a visit to the Historic Port of Echuca will allow you to discover the history of the area and take a ride on an old paddle steamer.
Moama and Echuca have a moderate climate and have become very popular with holiday makers - only two and a half hours from Melbourne. We found a large variety of shops, restaurants, cafes and accommodation and it was easy to explore the town on our push bikes.
Moama is also located beside Horseshoe Lagoon which was developed into a natural parkland with walking paths as a bicentennial project in 1988 - a lovely place to visit on a hot day with plenty of shade provided by the large river gums. There are several large clubs in Moama - Moama Bowling Club, Moama Sports Club, Echuca Moama RSL and Citizens Club, as well as the Rich River Golf Resort. Some of these clubs are huge with have a range of dining options and sporting facilities.
There are two caravan parks on the river in Moama (just over the Bridge) or you can stay overnight at the Rich River Golf Resort in an un-powered area behind the tennis court (you are asked to join the Club as a social member).
