- Leaving Cobram Vic, we continue to explore the length of the Murray River we called in to some of the most amazing campsites and beaches right on the river! To end up at the town that probably the most often associated with the Murray, Echuca. Come and join us as we share our experience of the free camping options we found,
We have been visiting Echuca for as long as we can remember and it still is a captivating place to visit, from walking through the old Port Of Echuca town to the views of the haunting whistle sounds from the Paddle Steamers lining the river, there is never a shortage of sights and sounds!
And for all of those following our trip along the Murray River thank you for joining us it has been great to share this with you. Please note we will be taking a short break from this trip while we do some grandparenting over the school holidays, but we will be back on deck in a couple of weeks to continue this adventure. Thanks for stopping by
UPDATE: Tocumwal Town Beach is now a paid campground, not by donation, run by the local council. Still great value at $7.50 per person per night. Here is a link to the online booking system tocumwallifestyle.com.au/town... Thanks for the update @To_Travel_We_Must
We used Shotcut video editor to create this video: shotcut.org/ And www.videezy.com/ for special effects Additional sound effects from www.zapsplat.com
Great video! Enjoy the family in Melbourne. When you head back to Echuca its worth going to Mathoura its around 40kms north of Echuca. Then another 7 kms to the river you will end at the Picnic point caravan park. Its worth staying there a night with a camp fire of course. There is the timber cutter restaurant and retreat across the road which is well worth for a good feed and including a view of the Murray. The town of Mathoura is worth a look as well, as it is almost a ghost town. On the way to the caravan park from town you will see the bird hide on the right which is also worth a look. You can get drinking water at the towns filtration plant just outside of town on the way to the caravan park. As the caravan park does have powered sites and showers toilets but the water is from the Murray. I know the place well as for years we took the kids there with friends during the summer holidays, camping. Enjoying the series looking forward to more content!
Thank you Roberto and thank you for the tips. We will definitely see if we can fit in a trip out to Mathoura. It sounds like it would be a great place to visit👍
Cheers Paul & Wenda
Just found you channel,I did a source of the Murray trip 10 years ago, swags obviously.we got to within a couple of hundred meters of the start, it was around 6 inches wide but the weather forced us out and back to the cars.we hiked around 13 kilometres.
Interesting and informative channel, cheers
@@heinzmartin8266 wow that would’ve been great. The River has a character of its own we just love following it as it changes and grows 👍 thanks for the encouragement
Cheers Paul and Wenda

@@stellaswancounselling thanks we love them too 😉

Cheers Paul & Wenda
Hi, I have been following your channel for some time now. Love the way you talk and the way you structure your videos - light, informative and engaging. We are also in Melbourne. Love to camp along the Murray and proud owners of Evernew caravan (older one). Would you have any time to meet in person? I would love to introduce myself and thank you for all the work you are doing with your CZcams channel. Looking forward to hear from you. Thanks, Alex
G'day Alex, thank you for your kind words and we are so glad you have enjoyed our videos 👍
It would be great to catch up if we can. You can send us a message on FB messenger or email beyondthegreyoz@gmail.com Looking forward to hearing from you
Cheers Paul & Wenda
We are planning our Murray trip in Oct and finding your videos fantastic as I am adding the camp spots you are staying to my wikicamps trip planner. Thankyou for taking the time to video and upload your ep’s. Wishing you continued safe travels. Cheers Mal
@@NoFixedDestinationAu thanks that’s great to hear. It’s been an awesome experience. Hope you enjoy your trip 👍
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Hi Paul & Wenda, thanks for another informative video. You guys were very lucky to visit those places during the much quieter months. They looked awesome. I loved your excitement Wenda when you spotted the koala - we love animals and I would have been just as excited. I hope you're enjoying spending the school holidays with the family.
Looking forward to seeing you next video.
Safe travels, Corrie and Lyn ❤
@@lynbond5126 thank you so much Corrie and Lyn 😊 yeah it is still a thrill to spot our amazing wildlife 👌
It has been great to stop and spend time now with the grandkids they grow up so fast
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Another great vlog. I love your enthusiasm. The Port is terrific for a wander.
@@Roamindaveys thanks 😊 just love Echuca
Cheers
How good is the Murray River it was great seeing some of our favourite camps. That parma looked fantastic we are now looking forward to our next pub meal. Cheers Graham and Jo
It is such an iconic river with so many different and varied experiences the further along you travel
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Well done, Paul and Wenda. You just happened to visit my favourite camping spots, Echuca and Carters Beach. And you got to see the koalas, which is a bonus. The only thing with Tocumwal is that the best time to visit is during the off-season when it's quiet. You don't want to be there on a long weekend-it's not much fun. Thanks for the video, and I look forward to catching up soon.
@@eds4wdcamping thanks Ed the Murray is such a treat to follow and camp 👍
Cheers mate
Thanks guys, another great ep :)
@@stuartkcalvin Thank you 😊
With the greatest respect, you both had me rolling on the floor with your reviews of Tocumwal and Carters Beach. From Christmas to Easter they are Bogan Central with hardly enough space to open ypur van door. You wouldn't get me stay there with a gun to my head. You were certainly fortunate/lucky with your timing.
@@TheGggnome yep can imagine it could be a bit like that at times. But what great spots when you get them to yourself 👍
Cheers
Another great video! How do you do the map showing your car please?
Thank you 😊 we use a program called Route Generator www.routegenerator.net
Cheers
You found some beautiful spots. I just love the Murray.
@@HilltopFarmHomestead thanks yeah there were so many to choose from 👌
@@beyondthegreyoz enjoy your grandchildren.
Beautiful spot guys 😊
@@frankkerwick1084 the Murray has so much to offer 👌
You just missed Greens Beach at Koonoomoo .
@@neilkemp9118 there are so many great spots to choose from we’re just gonna have to come back and do it all again 😉 We did look at Greens Beach
Cheers
Hey guys, Tocumwal town-beach is not a free camp or by donation. you pay.. $7.50 per person per night. I spoke to one of the committee members.. There is an online booking site.. the council handed over the management to the committee to upgrade and improve the facilities.. hence the town water taps and sullage pits.. The toilet block is in the planning.. You deleted my previous post? I provided the link to their online booking system.
Thanks for this information. We just noticed Wiki Camps has updated their description to say it's a paid camp ground👍Still great value.
We have restricted links in the comments as there were some inappropriate links being included in the comments. So any post with links will automatically be deleted by CZcams. I'll put a comment and link to the booking system in the Description. Thanks again for the info
Cheers Paul & Wenda
Can you guys pls go to Bathurst nsw
@@joshuawotton1525 definitely 👍 we will be up that way later in the year 😉
Cheers
