After a great day and tour at Dunlop Station admiring the former 1Million Acre farm and the homestead build by Samuel McCaughey (he also build Toorale) which was know as one of the prettiest homesteads in Australia. Interesting both homesteads have cellars and Toorale even a grand ball room, they also have some of the highest ceilings I have seen. I’m heading on finding a new home for the night.. . . . . #nsw #dunlopstationlouth #dunlopstation #darlingriverrun #darlingriver #nswtourism (at Dunlop Station Louth Nsw) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRfg1PVpP5p/?utm_medium=tumblr

Camp 🏕 for a night or two at the Darling River. Relaxing and enjoying the peace and freedom not being in Lock Down. Got the place pretty much to myself with one other single traveler at the other end. . . . . . . #darlingriver #darlingriverrun #darlingrivernsw #tooralenationalpark #toralee #helixnox #seatosummitgear #travel #traveling #TFLers #vacation #visiting #instatravel #instago #instagood #trip #holiday #photooftheday #fun #travelling #tourism #tourist #instapassport #instatraveling #mytravelgram #travelgram #travelingram #igtravel (at Toorale National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRXV7BXpuQZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Discovering Mildura’s Mighty Murray

By Maree Smith

Located near the border of Victoria and New South Wales, Mildura is situated on the mighty Murray River in the Sunraysia region. Known for its fruit growing (especially grapes and oranges) and its gorgeous paddle steamers, Mildura or Mildy as the locals know it, really is a town where you can enjoy a taste of Australian regional life. 

However, Mildura isn’t just a regional town, it is a large thriving community, with over 60,000 people residing in the area. It has a laid back vibe and a slower pace. There are shops, restaurants, wineries, nightclubs, but the main attraction, is the Murray itself.

The Murray River is a great spot to fish, ski, swim or even just to sit and relax. There are many sandbars dotted around Mildura to swim in, however the most famous one of all is the Apex Park Sandbar - so be sure to check it out.

You can enjoy the Murray by camping along the river anywhere within the bushland for free. In the off season (anything out of school holidays and public holidays) you are guaranteed a quiet spot with no one else around and your own private sandbar! It really is amazing.

You could also hire a houseboat, they are luxurious and fully fitted out; with bedrooms, kitchens, lounges, bathrooms, BBQ’s, even some with your own Jacuzzi!

You can then cruise up and down the Murray, stopping to swim, kayak or just to do some bushwalking at any time you feel like it. If you are interested in checking out some amazing ways to cruise up and down the river check out Discover Murray River Houseboat Holidays.

The old restored paddle steamers are a must to experience on the Murray whilst you are in Mildura. There are three to choose from: the P.S Melbourne, P.V Rothbury and P.V Mundoo.

Originally built as work boats to carry loads such as logs and for towing, these paddle steamers are now enjoying their days ferrying people up and down two of the longest rives - the Victorian Murray River and the Darling River in New South Wales. You can even book a paddle steamer over to the beautiful Trentham Estate Winery for a cheeky glass of wine and some lunch!

The Murray River is peaceful and absolutely stunning, with lots of things to do to enjoy its beauty and to have loads of fun! If you would like to know more about the Mighty Murray River or Mildura, head on over to the Visit Mildura page for more information.
