Travel guide Mildura & Murray Outback

Mildura Country Music Festival is Australia’s largest Independent Country Music Festival presented by Neighbourhood Cable. When Australian country music fans talk of the festival "biggies", the Mildura Country Music Festival rates a mention alongside the Tamworth Country Music Festival and the Gympie Muster as one of the big three.The 24th annual Mildura Country Music Festival is Australia's biggest showcase of Independent entertainers.

'Cobden Air' provides alternative air tours by chartered aircraft, Cobden chartered tours and flights depart from most Australian airports.
