Mildura
VIC, 3512

Mildura is a city in north-western Victoria. The largest settlement in its vicinity, Mildura is noted for its vineyards, supplying 80% of Victoria’s grapes. This industry has long cemented the city as an agricultural centre in its region. It is sat just a short distance from the banks of the Murray river and has a population of over 50,000 people. The origins of the name ‘Mildura’ are uncertain; its earliest recorded use is as the name of a sheep station, established in the late 1850s, which sat on the land that is today occupied by Mildura, and therefore it is suspected to be of aboriginal origin; however, its definition is a topic of much debate. Mildura is a low-rise city consisting mainly of family housing on large plots of land.

Mildura is a well-established city with a rich history and a unique sense of character. While it is perhaps best known for being the primary source of grapes for many of Australia’s wineries, Mildura is a rapidly growing and expanding city. It is home to a series of retail outlets and restaurants, which are primarily found along Langtree Avenue as well as a shopping mall which is located on Fifteenth Street. Mildura’s central business district is situated close to the edge of the Murray River and is the centre of much of the activity and governance in the city. All in all, Mildura is a beautiful, culturally rich city with excellent amenities and a unique rural charm.
