ECHUCA-MOAMA DISPLAY CARS & MUSIC
Echuca is a Murray River town of over fourteen thousand residents on the Victorian side of the border with NSW.
Moama is a smaller town connected by road bridge to Echuca over the Murray River in NSW.
Not unusual for the winter months to be generally cold overnight followed by clear sunny days. Summer's are hot.
The Winter Blues Festival is a charming event that takes place in the picturesque older historic riverside area of the city. The venues are strategically located around the historic port, surrounded by beautiful buildings and a timber wharf that exudes a sense of nostalgia and charm. This area not only serves as the backdrop for the festival but also adds to the overall ambiance and experience for attendees.
The historic riverside area is not only a hub for the Winter Blues Festival but also a hotspot for tourists throughout the year. Visitors are drawn to the area's rich history, stunning architecture, and the unique atmosphere created by the combination of old-world charm and modern amenities. The festival, set against this backdrop, offers a perfect blend of culture, music, and entertainment that appeals to both locals and tourists alike.
As attendees make their way through the festival venues, they are treated to not only a variety of blues music performances but also have the opportunity to explore the surrounding area. From quaint cafes and boutique shops to scenic river views and historic landmarks, there is something for everyone to enjoy. The Winter Blues Festival truly encapsulates the spirit of the city's riverside area, making it a must-visit event for music lovers and culture enthusiasts alike.
Cars & Music
A last visit to The National Holden Motor Museum. A museum for Holden cars and stand alone engines. Museum now closed and new Holden vehicles are no longer sold or manufactured in Australia. A red and black Holden Torana A9X was one of the display vehicles. By memory, I remember these as being only a white colour on the racetrack. Apparently twenty-three colours were used for the limited edition road going A9X Torana's.
To purchase an A9X today may cost as much as one million dollars at auction. I purchased one of the few Ford items for sale in their onsite shop. The museum permanently closed in April 2024.

19-twenty have been whipping up a frenzy on the festival scene. They are electric. An infectious riff and groove based blue-billy-grass-rockin'-roots band.
