If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, here are five ideas of what’s on.

History, The Paddle Steamers of Wahgunyah Exhibition

Paddle steamers were one of Australia’s inland pioneering transport systems and at their peak there were about 190 paddle steamers operating on the Murray-Darling rivers.

As a major river port at the time, the Wahgunyah History Group has a large collection of pictures and photographs of local paddle steamers including P.S Jane Eliza, Wahgunyah and Waradgery, as well as others that passed through the port. Join Pfeiffer Wines Rutherglen throughout the month of August to view this exciting exhibition.
