Great Aussie Beer Shed
The Great
Aussie Beer Shed is a fabulous place to learn about the history of beer and
Australian heritage, featuring over 16,000 beer cans and other brewery related
items.
It has a
vast array of Australian memorabilia, including an old strong box used to hold
the gold travelling on Cobb and Co coaches.
There’s
also a WWII cannon that was discarded from Echuca’s war memorial in the 1960s,
and recovered after a local man spent four years digging through the tip.
