June 2026 - Kings Birthday LONG WEEKEND Trip to Echuca

Join us on a long weekend 3-day trip to Echuca.

Saturday 6 June: Meet at Yan Yean at 9.30am for a 10.00am departure.  Lunch is planned at Tahbilk Estate Restaurant, with some time to look around the historic winery.  Then we'll travel via a couple of historic towns to Echuca, with some time to relax or look around the town before dinner.

Sunday 7 June: A day in and around Echuca.  This extensive historic port area is a must-see; it was the freight transit point between the Murray River paddle steamers and the train to Melbourne.  The trip booklet will have a range of other options, both in and around the town, plus a couple of short drive options.

Monday 8 June: After a relaxed departure, return through some more historic towns, vineyards and a silo art display.

Accommodation is at Mercure Port of Echuca, phone 5482 5666.  This is within easy walking distance of the main features of Echuca.
A group booking has been arranged - quote BMW0606 for 10% off the standard room rate.
The June long weekend is popular on the Murray River, so
early booking is strongly recommended.
Remember to register for this event as well as booking your accommodation.

(Members of the Accor loyalty program: the group rate is cheaper than the "Classic" member rate, but you may wish to compare if you are on a higher level membership.  If you use the group booking rate, you can still quote your Accor member number to accrue points for your stay.)

TRIP BOOKLET WILL BE SENT OUT IN THE FINAL REMINDER EMAIL (AND MAYBE BEFORE).

Navigation will use the TourBoss app.
Please download the app ready for use.
Instructions for use are available here.

TourBoss provides notes along the way. 
To see these, you need to upgrade to at least version 1.6.2 Revision 3470 of the Tourboss app. To check your version, open TourBoss, click on the cog wheel for "Settings", and the version is displayed.
To update, go to your Google or Apple store on your phone, search on TourBoss and click on Update.

We highly recommend you have a UHF radio with you on all our drives,
to be alerted to road hazards and for other communication.  We will use channel 17. 

Please see our cancellation policy here. 
Meals, food and all other costs are yours on the days.
Please give as much advance notice as possible if your ability to attend part or all of the event changes.
