The Murray River & Around
River Fun
You could view the Murray River from the riverbank, but kayaking in Mildura or revisiting
the river's history by boarding one of its grand old paddle steamers in Echuca gets you up
close and personal.
Rutherglen Wines
In the Murray River's southern hinterland, Rutherglen's postcard-pretty main street serves
as a gateway to the vineyards that produce the state's most celebrated fortified reds. Wine
festivals in March, June and September are worth looking out for.
Chiltern
Chiltern's historic main street is beloved by film producers eager to evoke the gold-rich
days of Victoria's 19th-century boom years. Antique shops, a pub or two and verandah-
lined heritage buildings are essential to its charm.
