Thoughts on Mildura, Victoria.

Mildura is a reasonably large rural town where 80% of Victoria's grapes are grown

Having been to Mildura a few times before we were disappointed this time.
The Murray River access has been taken away, was only permitted if going on a Paddle Steamer. The photo below is all we could see of the river.
No where to park to walk along the river's edge and no paths to walk along - totally different and ruined in our opinion. There were a few things that were improved.
So we only stayed two nights.


The town itself was ok as we did some driving around.
There was a Caravan Show on so we tried to find it, and did.  However on the way we ended up at the Cemetery, so had to have a look.




I love these gumtrees and their orange/brown trunks.  This was at the Cemetery.


An old Homestead not used now, but it's a museum.


The loo that's not used anymore for the homestead.


A shearing shed, a reconstructed one.
