New Year’s Eve

Another cracking day in Mildura. We started with a lazy coffee and breakfast at the MAC cafe (Mildura Arts Centre) before checking out the galleries and historic Rio Vista, arguably Mildura’s most important heritage building. Originally home to the Chaffey family who were pioneers of inland irrigation, it is a beautifully preserved example of Queen Anne architecture with no expense spared on exotic woods, Lincrusta wallpapers and handpainted stained glass windows.

Next up, we explored along the river front before heading back to the van for lunch and a lazy afternoon of beach cricket in the Murray 🏏

And of course in the countdown to midnight we celebrated New Year's Eve Mildura style - being entertained at the caravan park by DJ ‘Dad-Bod’ (we’re not sure of his actual name). He had both kinds of music - Country and Western! (and a bit of Bon Jovi) 😜🤠

Altogether a great way to end 2024 with family and besties. Bring on the New Year xxRead more
