What to bring

For this Victorian river road trip from Wodonga along the Murray to Mildura, pack for riverside adventures, paddlesteamer trips and the warm, unhurried pace of country life.
A swimsuit is essential for Murray dips and Quest's pools at each stop. Comfortable shoes handle the Yindyamarra Sculpture Walk and riverside trails, and a warm layer suits cooler Wodonga evenings. A hat and sunscreen are non-negotiable for warm Mildura days, and don't forget a bottle bag for the winery visits at Trentham Estate, St Anne's and Schmidt's Strawberry Winery.

Explore Wodonga

Situated in the centre of town within easy reach of shops, eateries and museums, the accessible-accredited Quest Wodonga offers 79 stylish, fully-serviced apartments. In the warmer months, make use of the onsite pool or head to the banks of the Murray for a dip; in winter, the snowy slopes of Falls Creek are just 90 minutes away. The Yindyamarra Sculpture Walk, a five-kilometre trail of First Nations art, and the historic Bonegilla Migrant Experience are both a short drive from the property.

Explore Echuca

Developed as a river port in the 1800s, today Echuca is the place to try out a host of water activities, a trip on a paddle steamer being chief among them. After a day of exploration, settle in at Quest Echuca, which sits a short distance from the banks of the Murray River. Accessible-accredited, the property is close to restaurants, cafes and bars and has a pool, with the Great Aussie Beer Shed heritage museum and Billabong Ranch family park both within easy reach.

Explore Mildura

Quest Mildura is positioned perfectly to discover this thriving riverside city on the border of Victoria and New South Wales. Our 66 apartments are close to restaurants and wineries, the Mildura Arts Centre for culture lovers, the Water Play Park for families and the Mildura Brewery for a cold drink on a hot day. The Murray River is an easy 15-minute walk away, and artist Bruce Munro's shimmering Trail of Light and the World Heritage-listed Mungo National Park are both within reach.

Journey Home

Mildura to Melbourne is a long drive – allow around seven hours – so plan ahead and consider breaking it up along the way. Stop at a favourite winery en route for a final glass of something local, pick up produce from a roadside stall, and take your time with the big sky country that surrounds you on the drive south. Mildura Airport also has regular services if you prefer to fly. Either way, the Murray will linger in your memory long after you leave.
