Echuca Wharf
40 - 60 Murray Esplanade,, ECHUCA VIC 3564 - Property No B1993

The Echuca Wharf was erected in 1865-67 by the Public Works Department. The contractor was G Dwyer and Co. Additions were made in 1877 and 1879. The wharf is constructed entirely of timber and was once five times its present length. Its great height allowed for the ten metre variation in the winter and summer levels of the Murray and enabled a year round unloading of goods. Cranes, wool presses, and bond stores were accommodated on the uppermost level.
