Echuca

We've just spent the weekend in Echuca and I have to say it was very relaxing. We'd been up there last year about the same time and had decided that a return visit was essential. Drove up friday afternoon in Steph's new Statesman and spent a very funny friday in a couple of the pubs, namely the Echuca (where we were staying, excellent meals) and the yank (The American, not as good as last year, but a nice loud pub nonetheless).

The drive up and back was scatterred with Utes on the way to and from the annual Deniliquin World Record Ute Muster as well as the inaugural World Record Blue Singlet Muster. You've never seen more Bundy rum and Buffalo Horn stickers in your life. Judging by the amount of utes on the road I suspect they made their 3000 utes to beat their last world record.

It also seems that this weekend was the Footy Trip/Netball Trip weekend of choice, so the city was full of drubken groups of people on matching T-Shirts with humourous nicknames on them. :)

Nonetheless, we had a pretty good time. I'd happily recommend anyone eating a pub meal in Echuca to go to the Echuca hotel on High street, and anyone seeking accommodation that was quite, clean, modern and comfortable to avoid staying over the pub like we did :) Oh, and the beer's pretty good too :)

Anyway, it was a very good weekend, great weather, good food, good beer, and good fun laughing at Ye Olde Pisse Weak World (The Historic Port of Echuca)
