After recommendation from fellow travellers we took a punt on a cheap caravan park opposite the airport at Mildura, only $15 a night for a powered site. It turned out to be a nice quiet park even with numerous dogs and permanents. The facilities were clean, we certainly had our money's worth in power, Lyn blew the fuses a couple of times with too many electrical appliances on. The last plane was around 7pm until 6.30am so they were not a problem.
We had three days there looking around and was surprised at the size of the town it was larger than we had expected, produced in the area are grapes, oranges,almonds and vegetables. We had an enjoyable trip on the MS Melbourne Paddle Steamer on the Murray River which passed through Lock 11, it was very interesting entering the lock and being lowered 2.5mtrs and on the return trip being raised up again.
Friday night we went to The Working Mens Club to see a group called The Beach Balls, it was a great night listening to the hits from The Beach Boys, Beatles, Frankie Valley and many others.
Mildura really is a very nice town, although it sounds as if the weather has been a trifle cool.
