Today we set off to Mildura which is around 600km NW of Melbourne.
It is on the Murray River which is on the border of NSW and VIC. This is Australia's longest river at 2500km plus in length. Mildura is also quite close to the the border of SA and is much closer to Adelaide than to Melbourne.
I have quite a gap before the next oncologist appointment so we have decided to go for it once again.
As usual we travelled along the Calder Highway. We stopped at Charlton for lunch. That bakery is highly recommended.
Victoria is in drought conditions for a lot of the state.
Mildura is located in a region called the Mallee which is big wheat area. The roads are dead straight with the small towns having a series of wheat silos which can be seen from afar. Many of these have been painted by local artists and some of my previous blogs have described these in depth.
