In 2012 we did a trip to Mildura for the Riverboat Festival. It was a great weekend and there were dozens of Riverboats of all shapes and sizes going up and down the river. On one of the days we were able to go for a ride on the boats and it was a lot of fun.
Broken Hill
After our weekend at Mildura we headed off to Mungo National Park which is part of the Willandra Region World Heritage Site. There are ancient aboriginal cultural and archaeological treasures which can be viewed either by foot or by a guided tour. It is a huge area of about 1,000 square kilometres.
We walked around the Walls of China believed to be over 36,000 years old. It was amazing to see and to imagine what it would have been like back then!

The Mungo Woolshed was built in 1869 as part of Gol Gol Station.
There is something beautiful about old shearing sheds and we love them.
Next stop was Broken Hill and a trip out to the old town of Silverton, an old silver mining town about 26 km from Broken Hill

One of my brothers enjoyed a two week holiday on a paddle steamer and it sounded like a HEAP of fun.
Worth a Thousand Words
Great place is Mildura. Shearing sheds, well that's another story you have to stand in one, smell it and imagine what went on or what goes on.
I was chatted up in Broken Hill several years ago whilst waiting for my husband..lol, interesting.
Silverton is just something else, great pub. Heard it was for sale, maybe someone bought it by now.
