Weekend in Echuca (Garden of Eden)

Beau and Jessie are getting married near to our 25th anniversary, so Jan and I celebrated our anniversary earlier.
We spent a lovely weekend at Echuca in Victoria, along the Murray River.
I think the highlight, apart from the re-assurance of the "Love Bond" between us was the trip up the Murray aboard the Paddle Steamer Pevensey.
We alighted at a private jetty at Morrisons Restaurant and Winery, if you cannot get there, then you must visit their website.
www.morrisons.net.au
The surrounds of the restaurant was absolutely beautiful.
The food was incredible, and the staff were marvelous.
I cannot rave enough about it... which reminds me, a good book to read "Raving Fans: A Revolutionary Approach To Customer Service"
Over the weekend we did a lot of walking, talking and of course, eating...

Echuca is certainly a well deserved place to spend a holiday, or a long weekend and we are looking forward to going back there, perhaps next time we will hire a houseboat.

Our hosts,Peter and Judy who are new to the Motel, were absolutely fantastic. They would stop at any time of the day, just to have a chat with you. Nothing was to much trouble for them.
