22.01.2022 Today we said goodbye to someone very special to us and many of you - Stretch, the Port cat. After a wonderful life, it was time for Stretch to go to cat heaven today. We believe our wonderful stretchy boy made it to a fantastic 15 years of age. He always loved saying hello to visitors, and especially loved spooking people on our Port After Dark tours. He was (almost) always welcoming of other furry friends, and loved snoozing near the warm steam display boiler. ... He will be sorely missed, never forgotten, and always loved. See more

16.01.2022 A LETTER FROM SANTA: "HO HO HO! I've had the jolliest of times in the Port of Echuca, and have loved meeting so many of you - most of which, are on my NICE list. I had lots of fun taking photos with Cathlyn Herd Photography, trying Wharf Yoga with Mi Yoga, and getting my special Christmas motorbike out for a spin. ... Thank you to everyone who came for a visit and a photo. My festive friends at the Discovery Centre will have your photos ready for pick up as of the 14th of December. They're working hard to get them ready - just like my elves back in the North Pole, who are working on all your presents! It's now time for me to jump in my sleigh, head to a new place, and meet some more excited children. You can meet me at Best and Less Echuca from the 17th of December. Merry Christmas everyone!"
