A popular mildura atraction - the paddle steamer

Mildura, Victoria

Mildura is an oasis by the Murray River located in Victoria's far north-west – almost as far north-west as you can go without leaving Victoria! Mildura is easily accessible for a driving holiday from Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra and Adelaide - around six hours' drive from Melbourne with three major highways to get you there: the Sunraysia, Calder and Murray Valley.

Alternatively you could catch a flight to Mildura, with a number of regional airline services operating from Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney to Mildura Airport; or choose a coach or rail service - both also available from major cities. If you visit Mildura by air, rail or coach, you should consider car hire using one of the car rental companies in town to get out and experience the wonderful surrounding areas.

Australia's Mildura offers the ideal vacation destination with lots to see and do. Mildura accommodation options are varied and depend on your taste and budget. Its multicultural society gives it a cosmopolitan flavour with many cultural events scheduled throughout the year – combined with the easygoing attitude of the bush.

There are many activities to participate in and around Mildura. Why not sample some wonderful food and wine at a winery or restaurant, or take advantage of the mostly warm Mildura weather and cruise the picturesque Murray River on an historic paddle steamer?

Play golf at one of the many courses, visit the Mildura speedway, or take in the gardens at the Australian Inland Botanic Gardens. Arm yourself with a map of the Mildura area and get out and experience this wonderful place!
