This small town, near the provincial city of Mildura, is in an area commonly known as the Sunraysia District. As most locals can tell you this name is very appropriate, as the region enjoys a dry, clear climate with clear blue skies and 400 more hours of sunshine each year than the Gold Coast! Australia’s two greatest rivers, the Murray and the Darling meet at Wentworth. Recently a new 4 star motel complex was completed adjacent to the Wentworth Services Memorial Club. The Wentworth Grande Resort and the Services Memorial Club provide a stunning base for our tour.
Some tourist attractions in the area are:
• Visit the Junction of The Darling and Murray Rivers – Climb the observation tower where the Darling and Murray Rivers Join
• Australian Inland Botanical Gardens –
• Perry Sand Hills – a unique land formation of continuously shifting Sand dunes
• Harry Nanya Tours – Aboriginal guided tours of Mungo National Park
• Orange World – Tours and tastings of local citrus and avocado varieties
• Old Wentworth Goal – Local attraction
• Tours of Trentham Estate Winery
• Woodsies Gem Shop
