Visit Mildura, where you will drift, dream, discover.

Mildura  will overwhelm your senses. Its expanse of exciting landscapes is a many
layered tapestry of colours, textures, tastes and experiences. From meandering rivers
and lush farmland to vast tracts of red desert cratered with shimmering salt lakes, Mildura
is a place of such diversity it’s difficult to believe you can have it all in one holiday.

The region is equally renowned for its fantastic food, wine and cultural mix. Imagine
lunching on fine cuisine and wine in a chic riverside restaurant and that evening,
sleeping beneath a ceiling of stars in the middle of the great Australian outback. Soak
up the unique pioneering history of tiny Mallee towns surrounded by more than a half
 a dozen national parks linked together in spring by a carpet of wildflowers.

All this is just an hour or half a day away and easily accessible from every direction.
Mildura is central to Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Canberra via a network of
major routes which are a fascination in themselves. Overlapping the borders of three
states, this enthralling area offers myriad experiences to suit every interest and budget.

Mildura was established originally as an American-style irrigation colony.
Alfred Deakin invited the Chaffey brothers, George and William, to develop

here from the Murray River.
