Moama

Expansive blue skies, towering river red gums and glistening natural waterways coupled with boutique wineries, craft breweries, providores and restaurants, and you’re starting to gain a sense of life in Moama.

A place where backroad trails wind their way from the town’s pretty streets out to organic farms, cellar doors and vineyards, artisan producers and the most vibrant red sunsets you could ever hope to see.

Moama’s backyard is a natural landscape of magnificent red gums and breathtaking river panoramas. The surrounding bushland offers a wide variety of walking and cycling trails, which wind along the banks of the Murray, through productive ecosystems and wetlands bursting with life.

The region’s emerging culinary scene is a major drawcard, and on the outskirts of town you’ll find one of Australia’s newest wine regions — Perricoota — offering delicate crisp dry whites, full-bodied reds and all varieties in between.

The border towns of Echuca Moama are an easy 2.5 hour drive from Melbourne, and the closest point of the Murray to the city. They exude a timeless, authentic beauty and the perfect mix of country living with city-like offerings.
