The Canberra, Echuca, VIC

Taken on the Murray River in Echuca, Victoria. It’s a pity the colors in these old photos have faded so badly, but I guess that’s what almost 40 years will do to them.

NOTE: I tried Dennis's suggestion to use Auto Color in PS, and it did get rid of a lot of the red, so I'm posting the redone image.

a funky scene, and the colours look pretty good despite the bright sunshine...

Another memory lane image for me as well, this one harking back to my teenage years when we camped by the river at Echuca.

kA beautiful shot,! One click in Photoshop, Image-Auto Color will usually fix the fade problem.

Regardless of the fading colors, having the photos keep the memories bright and colorful. V

A very nostagic feel to this image. A pity about the color fade but the image stands up well regardless.

I like the vintage look the faded colors bring. It looks like an ad from an old magazine. V

The faded colors give it a cool look. It would be fun to take a ride on that boat. V

This looks like an old-time picture postcard.

That looks like it would be a great way to tour the river. Very nice capture!
