This unforgettable fully-escorted 11-day journey is a captivating blend of historical towns, Victoria's rich gold rush legacy, heritage rail adventures and the timeless romance of paddle steamer cruising along the mighty Murray River. You’ll ride in a privately chartered heritage train, enjoying lunch in the historic Dining Car that was once part of the iconic ‘Spirit of Progress’ and cruise for four nights aboard Australia’s first 5-star paddle steamer. You’ll marvel at the beautifully preserved town of Maldon; view some of the silo art on Victoria’s Silo Art Trail, Australia's largest outdoor gallery; and spend time in Echuca, the location for the iconic 1980 TV series ‘All the Rivers Run’. On land, you’ll cross the border into New South Wales, exploring charming outback river towns including Deniliquin, Penarie, Hay, Balranald, Tooleybuc, and Swan Hill, including a special lunch on the station platform in Hay; and revel in your entrance to Wycheproof, where the railway famously runs down the main street. This is more than just a tour - it's a slow, soul-stirring celebration of Australia's pioneering past, where the rhythmic chug of heritage trains meets the gentle lap of paddlewheels on the water.
