Seven weekend getaways

 

On the border of the Australian Outback and on the shores of the famous Murray River sits the picturesque region of Mildura. Famous for great food and wine, its township is home to exceptionally good restaurants, pubs and farmers’ markets. Aboriginal people, the region's first inhabitants, named the town Mildura – meaning ‘red earth' in Latje Latje.

The region is renowned for a Mediterranean climate, with 122 clear days each year.  For a unique water-based experience hire a houseboat and sail along the wide, ever-flowing river. Visit the smaller towns along the shores of the Murray and explore its rich cultural heritage, both of indigenous and colonial roots. Mildura is six-hour drive from Melbourne - a ride which is most enjoyed on the scenic route along the Murray River.
