Take advantage of the Melbourne Cup “long weekend” for a camping escape near Mildura, in a beautiful, peaceful part of Victoria.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Easy – day walks from a base camp on the banks of the Murray River near Mildura.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: There are picturesque and secluded campsites overlooking the river. We can light a fire (not during fire ban days, though they’re unlikely at this time). There is very little mobile phone coverage.

There are many nice day walks in the area. We would decide what to do each day depending on our energy levels. There is great dirt bike riding in the park, bird watching, as well as swimming in the river if it is warm.

There are no facilities at the campsite so we need to be totally self-sufficient. Guidance will be provided to everyone on what you need to bring. Final details of how to get to the campsite will be provided to all people who register. Since it is a 500 km drive (one way) we will endeavour to car share to the max.
