Popular General Tips | Miscellaneous General Tips Tips | All Tips (9) Another shot of the friendly pelicans on the Murray. There dont' seem to be huge numbers of them at once, which was fortunate as even these 2 took 3/4 of a loaf of bread between them before I had the photos I wanted...but I thought it was a fair exchange :-) Leave a Comment

Fond as I am of castles, and Australia not being the land for Castles at all, this interesting church caught my attention. Leave a Comment

This is another of my favourite memories of Mildura, walking past this house in the street and looking down their driveway, which was just a carpet of purple petals of Jacarandas. Leave a Comment

Around December, when we were in Mildura, the Jacaranda trees (purple) were in full flower, and the gardens in the streets were looking lovely.
I've many fond memories of all the beautiful Jacaranda trees. Leave a Comment

I loved the semi tropical flowers in gardens around Mildura, which seem best at this time of the year, December.
In April when I was back, I didn't notice the gardens very much at all. Leave a Comment

Kings Billabong is just a few kms out of the centre of Mildura (see map at Vistor Centre you can have a brochure to find your way here) and is a part of the river where it is said a lot of birdlife can be seen.
We paid this place a visit but didn't see any, but I think that we picked the wrong time of day, as it was rather warm (over 30 degrees) and perhaps the birds were well hidden. Leave a Comment

There are plenty of nice places along the river in Mildura which are ideal for picnics or BBQs. Even in the heat of summer, the Murray's irrigation water means that the sloping banks along the river in town are green and grassy.
One of the places I most enjoyed was the park at Lock 11, where you could sit and watch the ferry and houseboats come and go through the lock, and pelicans and other birds like ducks going about their business. Leave a Comment
