Welcome: Echuca Historical Society president Mathew Wilson talks about the exhibition. Two photographers visiting Echuca from the Victorian Goldfields exchanged their wagon for a boat of river red gum planks and rowed from Echuca to Goolwa in 1862, taking photos of the many properties along the way. These are featured in the exhibition. Photo by Steve Huntley
