Description
Helen Coulson’s Echuca Moama: On the Murray is a comprehensive and richly illustrated account of two historic river towns situated on either side of the Murray River—Echuca in Victoria and Moama in New South Wales. With chapters spanning Indigenous heritage, pioneering settlement, paddle steamer commerce, agriculture, and environmental changes, the book offers a vivid portrait of the social, economic, and natural history that shaped this region. Enhanced by illustrations from David P. McCabe and archival photographs, it’s both a local history and a celebration of life on Australia’s iconic river system.
