Vanilla Slice Triumph

LOOKING forward to it. Let’s change the date to the weekend before Mundi Mundi in Broken Hill. The amount of tourists in town the weekend before would have sold out of snot blocks in an hour.-Jason Gordon


LOOKING forward to some of that oozing goodness that drips from your mouth and squirts everywhere. Bread and Butter do the best slice I reckon.

Lake Cullulleraine aqua adventure park

IT is a great spot and and an excellent idea. We need tourist type stuff but of course there are always negative people against anything.

Mark Bowring


AN absolutely amazing idea, why would anyone be against this idea great location great parks to stay at. Great for the whole of Mildura and Millewa. Bring on summer.

Andrew N Carolyn Bateman


GOOD idea, closer to town would be better but it’s a start. Nothing for children in Mildura anymore.

Joy Ferry Holland


THIS will be amazing! The lake is one our absolute favourite places and we take our boat and caravan multiple times a year. My kids will love this!

Varroa mite

ANYONE considered telling the bees to stay inside for just two weeks, to stop the spread?

Rex administration

MOVED here in 2008 and at that time we had four airlines: Sharp, Virgin, Rex and Qantas. We now have Qantas and Rex is still a “questionable” proposition. Being “a bit cynical” how do we attract tourists to the region with one airline, no train and no bus service to and from major cities. The roads (like most in Victoria) are atrocious. But hey good luck with all of it.
