The Rotary Club plaque on Mt Wombat, showing directions and distances of local, and not so local, points of interest. On the no so local destinations, it is interesting that there are only three points outside of Australia – the South Pole, Wellington NZ (2,547Km), and New York USA (16,800Km).
The tourist stage coach pulls into the Port of Echuca Discovery Centre.
Behind the coach is the Upper Murray River flag. The flag is the British White Ensign with the addition of cross in red with five white stars (representing the then five colonies), and four blue bars. The bars are for the major rivers making up the Murray-Darling system, the Murray, the Murrumbidgee, the Lachlan and the Darling.
