Currently Winbi is experiencing a beautiful start to the season with guests very much enjoying the crisp mornings and sunny days.

And over coming months there will be a host of wonderful activities to enjoy, for example;

• May 17-20 ‘The art of Marion Gould’ featuring outstanding native flora and fauna from this noted wildlife artist.
• May 19 ‘Echuca-Moama Jazz Club’ at the Workers and Services Club.
• May 27 ‘Wedding Expo’ featuring exhibitions from a range of Echuca-Moama and district wedding service providers.
• June 2-3/7-9 ‘Echuca Musical Theatre Company’ performing The Sound of Music.
• June 9-10 ‘Steam Rally Echuca’
• July 27-29 The 13th annual ‘Winter Blues Festival’ featuring over 30 prominent Australian Blues artists.

(headlining the event will be Dallas Frasca who won the 2010 Artist of the Year at the Musicoz Awards and her 2009 album was in the top 10 best grass-roots releases on TripleJ radio)

An absolute must see when visiting Echuca is the unique port precinct. Providing a glimpse into the history of late 1880’s ‘The Port’ is home to the largest fleet of steam-driven paddle-steamers in the world.

SPECIALS – AUTUMN 2012

Who could have imagined though the wide-spread late February rains across most of New South Wales and Victoria, with Queensland still in the firing line. We send our prayers to all those affected and hope their pain and anguish is soon eased.

Not surprisingly with various river tributaries flowing into the Murray upstream of Echuca, the River is steadily rising.

Winbi River Resort is in very good shape and the recent fine days have been most welcome. Certainly the weather has not dampened the spirits of guests, nor impeded our recent (slightly wet) wedding – ceremony and reception held in the marquee!

We finished 2011 with much accomplished. Our refurbishment program of Units 1-12 is now complete, all being repainted, re-decked and with new carpet, LG plasma TV/cabinet, occasional tables, modular lounge, dining room table and chairs. Gardens around these Units have been levelled, re-barked and a new planting program underway (although planting will cease over the summer months).

Overall the Resort looks fantastic – clean and fresh.

Consequently with the forecast for great weather to herald 2012 Winbi is again ready for the ‘Malibu invasion’ and the Resort will be really rocking with the ‘sounds of summer’, laughter and festivity.

The New Year brings with it great entertainment, the following being but some examples;

• Jan 6&7 – ‘Girgarre Moosic Muster’
• Jan 20 – ‘Shakespeare in the Vines’
• Jan 21 – ‘Morley Auto Group Echuca-Moama Triathlon’
• Feb 11/12 – ‘Southern 80 Ski Race’
