Another town I love is Mildura.
Accommodation in Mildura is pretty good but often over priced. The Grand is the best bet and it does have budget rooms. I also suggest Midcity plantation which is not the Ritz but very affordable. The staff are wonderful.
Where ever you stay have breakfast at the Grand. The lambs fry is renowned but if thatâs too much for you there are plenty of alternatives.
After breakfast cross the road and look at the fountain and cross the footbridge and relax and admire the river views.
Wander down to the river and stroll. The boat trips are a must but if you are short of time and cash wander along the river towards the loch.
Its worth spending some time exploring the gardens in the loch so cross the little bridge, there is much to see.
There are plenty of options but I suggest you wander to the Rio Vista Museum which is a must see.
Then head back to town for a light lunch at Hudaks bakery. The pies are superb! Make sure you order a loaf of the orange bread to take home!
After lunch stroll to a little known gem.
The Langtree Hall Museum was Mildura's first public hall built in 1889 and is an important link in Mildura's Heritage. Its located at 79 Walnut and itâs a delightful old building with an impressive collection of international dolls as well as fascinating memorabilia about Mildura. The staff are always wonderful to chat to.
The rest of the afternoon just stroll the streets and the malls or I suggest back down to the river with a good book and relax.
Thereâs plenty of great restaurants for dinner but you must not leave without trying a Mallee burger! The van is in Deakin so grab a burger and their stunning golden chips and sit in the rotunda over the road!! You might be lucky enough to see a performance at the arts complex.
Well that's one of mine. Might be fun to share some of yours!
