Your host, Kym Kelly, was born and raised in northern South Australia. Upon graduating from University (science/maths), he spent 10 years working and travelling the world through over 150 countries. He is also an accomplished artist (pen and ink medium), author (4 books published) and professional pianist.

Kym arrived in Echuca in 1990 to take up a teaching position at the local high school (chemistry/maths) and opened Echuca Gardens 2 years later.

He has built most of the property and gardens himself. Time permitting, you may be able to see his incredible exhibit of collections from around the world, view his original artworks or hear him play piano.
