Murray Offroad Adventures – VIC
Walk through a landscape that echoes with the sounds of footsteps long since gone, where the horizon is endless and the sky vast in its daytime blue and starry night. Create memories that link you to an ancient place, renowned for its extraordinary indigenous culture.
Discover the region’s rich history and explore a land of contrast, where wetlands meet dunes and semi-arid plains, linked by Australia’s longest river, the Murray. The bush comes alive with your every step: see emus racing, kangaroos bounding and hear the call of birds from the trees overhead. Dine next to an open fire on a sandbank by the river, beside a remote pink salt lake or experience the “food-bowl” of Australia at a local winery or brewery.
Experience the outback without leaving Victoria. Based in Mildura, a six-hour drive from Melbourne, or a one-hour flight.
