The White Hat Guide to Mildura, Wimmera & Mallee
 | Walker Flat, Murray River | |
This area includes Red Cliffs, Merbein, Ouyen and Swan Hill. Mildura Arts Centre GalleryOn our last visit to this gallery (June 2002) there was a disappointingly small range of works on display (lack of space?). However, the visit was certainly worthwhile because of the fascinating Rio Vista. The grounds of the gallery also contain a significant collection of sculpture from 1960 - 1980.

TOURISM NEWS
Qantas In Flight Magazine chooses
White Hat
Cemetery Tour as its featured Australian tour for May
There are many fine historical tours
throughout Australia including cemetery tours. From these, the
prestigious Qantas In Flight Magazine has chosen the White Hat Tour
of Melbourne Cemetery as its featured Australian tour for the May
2007 edition. This tour was also featured by ABC radio on 24 May and
will feature in a documentary series on Burke and Wills to be shown
on European television in 2008. The tour has been operating for many years and has won
praise from a wide range of sources. This is not a dry and stuffy
tour but in keeping with all White Hat offerings it is Informed,
Intelligent, Independent (and occasionally) Irreverent. You can find
details of the tour at White
Hat Tour of Melbourne Cemetery and view the article at
Qantas In Flight Magazine. |
