Trish, Maurie and Belinda are determined to give Coral and Hopper a grand wedding but they'd prefer a simple ceremony at the registry office. They decide to get married on the beach where they had their first date. Darcy informs Zac that Dave has left Echo Point, taking their truck with him, but paying out Zac's share. Frannie starts a petition, determined to save a tree from being cut down to make way for a car park.

About Echo Point
Echo Point was an Australian television soap opera produced by Southern Star Group for Network Ten on 1 June 1995 until 1 December 1995. The series was devised as an attempt by the Ten Network to rival the opposition soap Home and Away on the Seven Network. The series focused on several families and teenagers in a coastal community, and a key on-going storyline concerned renewed interest in a long-unsolved local murder mystery. Echo Point originally aired at 7:00pm weeknights to low ratings and the series was cancelled after a little over 100 episodes had been produced. The final episodes were aired in a late night 11.30pm slot. The only purchaser of the series in the UK was Central Television, the only member of the ITV network to screen it. Central screened the series at 1315-1345 in the summer of 1998 following the conclusion of A Country Practice. TV3 in New Zealand picked up the series for just a few weeks in 1996 but then later cancelled, the show featured former Shortland Street actor Martin Henderson.
