Murray-Sunset National Park, nestled in Victoria’s far north-west corner, stands as one of the world’s few remaining relatively untouched semi-arid regions. Its expansive open landscapes, truly breathtaking sunsets, and incredibly starry nights create an atmosphere of vastness and isolation that demands more than a single day to fully appreciate. This untouched environment offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature in its rawest form.
The park is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, offering exceptional opportunities for four-wheel-drive touring through its diverse terrain, immersive bushwalking experiences, and serene camping under the vast Mallee sky. A highlight of the park is the iconic Pink Lakes, which present a picturesque sight throughout most of the year, their waters shifting dramatically in color from a deep, vibrant pink to a dazzling, glistening white, depending on the time of day and the season.
When planning your visit to Mildura, consider dedicating ample time to exploring the wonders of Murray-Sunset National Park, especially if you’re enjoying a relaxing River Dream Boatel experience on the Murray River. For activities like four-wheel-drive touring and bushwalking, there’s no need to book ahead of time for general park entry. However, if you plan to camp within the park, particularly at the campground near the Pink Lakes, it is highly recommended to book your campsite in advance, especially during peak seasons. This ensures you secure your spot and can seamlessly integrate this profound wilderness adventure, complete with stunning sunsets and stargazing, into your Mildura and wider regional experience.
