Mildura
Mildura has been purchased.
Mildura is located in the far north-western corner of Victoria, on the banks of the Murray River, around 400 kilometres from Adelaide and under 550 kilometres from Melbourne.
Originally a rather lifeless area, the region around Mildura was transformed into a rich agricultural oasis thanks to the work of the Chaffey brothers from Canada in the late 1800s due to their experience with creating irrigation settlements.
These days, Mildura is a very popular tourist destination, a bustling regional city in an area well noted for its warm and stable weather. The city features wide, tree-lined streets and is surrounded by vast numbers of wineries and fruit growing farms. The Murray River offers many activities, such as paddle steamer cruises, swimming, fishing and the popular activity of living on a hired house boat and cruising along the river for a number of days. Mildura is home to a number of major festivals, and its long history has left behind a legacy of historical buildings including the Rio Vista Mansion, the Old Mildura Homestead, and the Grand Hotel.
