didgeridorien Says: You can take a boat trip on the Murray River with a paddle steamer, which is quite unique. You go through a lock and you get to see a lot of birds. There are some of the greatest chairs on deck, so you can chill and watch the scenery.
Kate-Me Says: Woodsies is one of the largest touristy gem shop/gem display/cutting attractions of its kind in Australia. It's both a well stocked, beautiful show room, with outdoor viewing area for the tumbling of stones and rocks, with an indoor demonstration room where a few times a day...
Kate-Me Says: The Perry Sandhills don't cover a wide area, but are quite striking regardless, since they are in the middle of a very flat landscape where the main vegetation is stunted small scrubland and open paddocks. It is forbidden to sand drive on them, but you can still have a lot...
Kate-Me Says: Quite an extensive botanical gardens, with several large rose gardens, but for the most part, native plants and trees and walking trails. The rockery plant area near the rose garden is a good place to see native birds feeding on nectar in the mornings.
Hudak's Bakery: Gourmet bakery food
Kate-Me Says: Huge range of choices, from pies and quiches to sandwiches, foccacias and dessert pastries.It's such a huge operation that you need to take a number on entering, and wait in the queue. I found the service after 12 noon tended to be rather slow.....like almost 15 minutes,...
Stefano's: Restaurant of the Year 2004
leffe3 Says: Mildura is not the place you expect to find the place voted the Best Restaurant of the Year 2004 by The Age newspaper, but it is.Part of the Grand Hotel complex run by the Carazza family, this small (60 places), intimate restaurant is found in the cellars of the building...
Kate-Me Says: To get to Mildura by plane, Regional Express flies daily from Melbourne or Sydney.Driving: It's about 6 1/2 hours drive from Melbourne (550 km), 4 hours from Adelaide, (400 km) 8 hours drive from Canberra (810km), and 11 hours (1027 km) from Sydney.
various: Department stores, shops
Kate-Me Says: This is just a general shopping tip to say that Mildura's Mall is quite attractive, with a good range of boutiques, clothing stores, a couple of department stores, homewares/furnishing stores, souvenir shops and more. Another good point: parking nearby and no parking...
Increasing multiculturalism in Mildura
Kate-Me Says: Two years ago on one of my last visits to Mildura, I noticed there was a growing turkish population (by the Turkish Social Club rooms in town and also the many souvlaki shops) but apart from that, I felt it was lacking in multiculturalism and was more just a typically...
Murray Basin Quarantine Restrictions
Kathrin_E Says: The Murray Basin around Mildura is a wine and fruit growing region. So far, it is considered free of fruit-flies and farmers want it to stay free of fruit-flies. Entering this region, the same quarantine restrictions apply as on the interstate borders. Fruit and vegetables...
didgeridorien Says: Sometimes the bosses try to keep money from you, keep an eye on it! Make sure you know how much you've worked, what your rate is and how much taxes you have to pay. Threaten them if you don't get your money right away, it works the best. Another thing is, you can be without...
Kate-Me Says: Mungo National Park is 100 km north east of Mildura, but seems less off the beaten path these days than the last time we visited (several years ago) where the gravel road into the park was in much worse condition and the maximum speed a car or mini 4x4 could expect to go was...
leffe3 Says: Surrounded for miles in all directions by the mallee scrub, lake hattah forms the central part of the National Park. Walking tracks, viewing towers, BBQ sites, camping are all provided. But there's one drawback - there's no water! The lake only fills when there is a sizeable...
leffe3 Says: The humour of the owners of the services are to be foound all over the site - none more so than the beloved 'mileage' posts that are to be found all over Australia, proving just how far you all are from here :)
leffe3 Says: 60 or so kms south of Mildura on the Calder Freeway is the 'town' of Hattah. It is nothing more than a service station/shop (but thankfully not a corporate BP petril station). This wooden shack has been here quite some time and doesn;t look as if its going away in a hurry....
Kate-Me Says: Between June 26 and July 3, 2004, Mildura will host the 16th World Hot Air Balloon Championship. There are 101 teams from 38 countries competing, with 140 balloons, so it should be quite a sight!I believe it's the first time it will ever be held in the Southern Hemisphere....
Kate-Me Says: 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...
Kate-Me Says: 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.

The city of Mildura (pop. approx 50,000) is a looong way from the sea, but it really has that style of climate, which seems odd even to me, considering it is situated only 8 hours drive inland north...

My stay in Mildura was too short to write many competent tips about this town. A few remarks, however, and some photos taken around Mildura are to be posted.
