In the second half of the 19th century in particular, the city Ecucha had special strategic importance. It is not only at the confluence of three waterways ( Campaspe, Goulbourn and Murray River), but here also the largest of the rivers, the Murray River, the shortest distance from the metropolis of Melbourne. Thus, the city became the largest inland port in Australia and the railway junction. By the end of the century they had, however, lost their special status and a considerable part of the population again by economic crisis and decline in the importance of the waterways.

Today, the city is located, together with the on the other side of the border in New South Wales town of Moama a big tourism center around the Murray River and the Old Port and has, among other things, the largest fleet of paddle steamers in the world.
