Mungo and Mildura (2 days)
Fly into the World Heritage area and one of Australia’s richest archaeological treasures where aboriginal people have walked for thousands of years. With a local tour guide, unearth Mungo’s ancient story on a National Park Day Tour. Overnight at Mungo Lodge in a deluxe cabin with a touch of luxury and uninterrupted views of the landscape from your private rear decking. Dinner and breakfast in the Bar & Bistro.
On day two, fly to Mildura and with a local expert guide, take a behind the scenes tour and tasting at the famous Trentham Estate Winery located on the banks of the Murray with a delicious lunch and paddle steamer cruise back to Mildura. Fly back to Melbourne late afternoon.
The trip is well named "Taste of the Outback" and left us wanting to see more, learn more and spend more time in these remote locations with the support of Kirkhope staff and their colleagues as they shared their passion for the places they know.
