Mildura
Victoria Australia
Standing on the Victorian side of the Murray River, Mildura is a major centre in the heart of an expansive wine and fruit growing region. The name Mildura
means ‘red earth’ and comes from one of Mildura’s first Indigenous inhabitants, the Latje Latje people. Renowned for its Mediterranean climate the region is recognised for its long tradition of producing fine food and wine at iconic restaurants, farmers’ markets, gourmet eateries and cellar doors. In between food and wine excursions take a cruise along the Murray’s old trading routes and discover the
riverboat history on the popular historic paddleboat.
