This year’s Easter tourism and trade was hectic according to Yarrawonga Mulwala Tourism and Business Chief Executive Noel Wright.

“It was very busy with everything squeezed into four days – that’s what tourism’s about,” he said.
Easter Bunny was popular at the Yarrawonga Mulwala Golf Club Resort’s Easter Extravaganza raffle and family fun last Thursday.
“All our accommodation bookings we manage were fully booked and Belmore Street shops looked as though they attracted plenty of interest and trade.”
Our three licensed clubs were busy day and night. Sport attracted thousands of people. There was heavy traffic on both championship golf courses.
“Easter for us was amazing,” Black Bull Golf Club head professional James McCully said.
“There were a lot of people on the golf course and a lot of people using our beautiful Sebel with its accommodation. It was a full house.
“It was a bit like 10 years ago – a lot of people camped along the Murray River. Shopkeepers seemed to be doing a roaring trade.”
It was a full house also at Yarrawonga Mulwala Golf Club Resort with all 60 units occupied.
“It was pretty steady trade,” club CEO Peter Savy.
“The good weather kept a lot outdoors, but we still had people dining and enjoying our facilities.”

Pro Sho head professional Evan Droop said Easter trade was very solid on Australia’s largest public access golf course.
Big crowds attended the Good Friday football match between Mulwala and Congupna at Mulwala, and Easter Sunday’s Yarrawonga/Wodonga clash at Mulwala, as did Yarrawonga’s four-day at capacity Easter Tennis Tournament.
The glorious weather resulted in Lake Mulwala being used by many for fishing, boating, cruise boating and swimming, the foreshore also for relaxation and many down the river spots.
