Mildura is located in northwest Victoria and is a typical visit for backpackers in search for a job.
Mildura is a large town located next to the Murray River. Like an oasis in the dry landscape the further you go from the river the dryer it gets.
Thanks to the river Mildura has a lot of vineyards, and you are almost guaranteed to get some great local food and vine when you visit.
Mildura is a major producer of citrus fruits in Australia, which attracts a lot of backpackers to the area to get a job fruit picking. The high season for picking and packing work is from January to March, but there are generally jobs available all year round.
At Murray River you can enjoy a sunny day on the river beach or swim, canoe or water ski up on the river. Historical paddle steamers, once an integral part of Murray River culture, still operate and cruises can be arranged from Mildura.
About 110 kilometres north east from Mildura is Mungo National Park, and although there is an entry fee to get in the park is absolutely amazing, and you can explore the mysterious sand dunes, and see amazing sunsets and wildlife.
