A beloved piece of Mildura’s history — the K175 steam locomotive — could be relocated as part of Mildura Rural City Council’s bold new vision for a regional-level adventure playspace at Jaycee Park.
The potential removal of the locomotive is one of the key proposals now open for community feedback, as Council works to reimagine the popular riverfront park as a modern, family-friendly destination capable of drawing both locals and tourists.
Originally designed for Nowingi Place, the adventure playspace was moved to Jaycee Park following the 2022 flood event. The new site sits safely above historical flood levels, but the park’s layout means Council must decide whether to keep or relocate the large K175 engine that has occupied the space for decades.
Why Move the K175?
Council says removing the locomotive would free up significant room for open recreation space, improved landscaping, and large-scale play equipment — essential components of a modern regional playspace.
It could also open the door to more community events and gatherings within the park, while improving accessibility and the flow of foot traffic through the riverfront precinct.
The locomotive’s historical value isn’t being dismissed, with Council exploring future locations where it can be preserved and more appropriately interpreted.
Community Invited to Have a Say
Residents can now provide feedback until 16 January 2026, with Council eager to hear whether the community supports relocating the K175, keeping it on-site, or integrating it differently within the playspace design.
Kids are also being encouraged to participate through the “Children’s Voice” design competition, offering younger locals the chance to contribute ideas and win prizes.
A Tourism Boost on the Horizon
Tourism operators are watching the proposal closely. A large, inclusive, regional-quality playspace at Jaycee Park — just steps from the riverfront, the arts precinct and Mildura’s CBD — could significantly lift the area’s appeal to visiting families.
Modern play infrastructure is a key driver for regional tourism, and Council expects the upgraded park to encourage longer stays and higher visitation, especially if paired with improved event spaces and better riverfront connectivity.
Whether the K175 remains or moves, the redevelopment has the potential to transform Jaycee Park into one of Mildura’s most vibrant and visited public spaces.
If you’re looking for a magical way to begin the festive season in Sunraysia, then you won’t want to miss Mildura Carols by Candlelight this Saturday, 13 December 2025 at Nowingi Place, Mildura.
What to Expect
Why Nowingi Place Makes This Event So Special
The venue is well set up for events like this: there’s a proper stage, public-address system, ample space, and parking — so everyone can settle in comfortably.
It’s the kind of spot where you can spread out a picnic rug or bring a camping chair, soak up the river breeze, and share a classic Christmas carol night with friends and family.
A Beloved Local Christmas Tradition
On the night a collection will be taken in support of the Mildura Senior College Chaplaincy program
Food & drinks begin from 6:30 pm, so get there early to grab something tasty before the main show.
The main program runs from 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm — expect classic carols, community singing, and a warm festive atmosphere under the stars.
And yes — Santa arrives at around 8:45 pm, so be sure to bring the kids (or your inner child) for a special visit.
Nowingi Place sits on the banks of the mighty Murray River — a beautiful, scenic backdrop that adds a calm, riverside magic to the evening. mildura.vic.gov.au+1
Organisers recommend you come prepared with:
Picnic rugs or camping chairs
Sunscreen, a hat, and maybe insect repellent
A bit of Christmas spirit!
But you’ll want to leave at home:
Large beach umbrellas or tents (no shade structures allowed)
Glass items, BBQs, sparklers/fireworks — this is a smoke, alcohol, and pet-free event.
Mildura Carols by Candlelight has been a cherished highlight for the community for over 76 years — a beloved Christmas tradition that brings people together to sing, celebrate, and start the festive season with warmth and togetherness.
If you’re in Sunraysia (or up for a little drive), I’d say grab a rug, bring your loved ones, and make a night of it — this year’s carols at Nowingi Place promise to be cozy, community-spirited, and full of festive cheer.
This Wednesday at 11:30am, why not treat yourself to a relaxing 2-hour cruise aboard Paddle Boat Mundoo, setting off from Mildura and drifting peacefully upstream to the Gol Gol Hotel for lunch. It’s the perfect midweek escape — gliding along the mighty Murray River, soaking in the calm beauty of Sunraysia from the water, then landing at a historic riverside pub for a meal with a view.
Cruises run on a regular schedule through Mildura Paddle Steamers — you can always check the latest timetable on their website. (Mildura Paddle Steamers)
A bit of history — the Mundoo story
The Mundoo isn’t your average paddle boat. Built in 1987 at Goolwa, South Australia, she was originally powered by a restored 1892 Garrett & Sons steam engine — the same engine that served the historic paddle steamer P.S. Pyap.
In 1999, the boat was purchased by Captain Alby Pointon and his wife Freda, who brought her to Mildura. On 5 December 1999 she left Goolwa, and after an epic 888-kilometre journey along the Murray, she arrived in Mildura on 16 December. (Mildura Paddle Steamers)
Once in Mildura the Mundoo became part of Mildura Paddle Steamers’ fleet — offering cruises, dining events and special trips. Because the original steam engine wasn’t powerful enough for the sometimes-strong flow of the Murray, it was replaced with a diesel engine and hydraulic motors. This upgrade allowed the Mundoo to operate reliably regardless of river conditions.
At 34.9 metres long and built with a steel hull, the Mundoo is roomy and comfortable — with timber-finish interiors, dining facilities and bar, capable of carrying up to 180 passengers.
So when you step aboard this Wednesday, you’re not just going for a boat ride — you’re travelling on a vessel with heritage, purpose-built for memories, ceremonies, and simple leisure along the Murray.
What you’ll see — river views and the Gol Gol pub vibe
As the Mundoo glides upstream, you’ll drift past riverbank scenery: the gentle bends of the Murray, river
gums dipping their branches, maybe a heron gliding silently across the water — a classic Sunraysia-Murray vista. Once you reach Gol Gol, you’ll dock near the Gol Gol Hotel, a riverside pub with old-world charm that dates from 1877.
From the hotel’s outdoor seating (or indoors if you prefer comfort), the view across the Murray is peaceful and postcard-worthy: water reflecting the sky, tree-lined banks on either side, perhaps a boat gliding past, and that quiet, timeless river ambience that only the Murray can bring. It’s a slice of history and calm — perfect for a relaxed lunch after a morning on the water.
Lunch is purchased at the Bistro at Gol Gol — while the cruise includes the ride and river commentary, food is not included.
Why Wednesday’s cruise stands out (and how to check more)
The Wednesday “Gol Gol Cruise” — 11:30am to 2:30pm — is a dedicated offering by Mildura Paddle Steamers.
While this Wednesday is a lovely opportunity, Mundoo (and sister vessels) also run other regular cruises — 2-hour sightseeing trips, dining cruises or special-event cruises throughout the year.
The option to combine a scenic cruise with a riverside lunch makes this a great short-escape for locals and visitors alike — especially if you want a mellow, scenic break from routine.

Nestled in the remote western corner of Victoria, the Pink Lakes of the Murray-Sunset National Park are a breathtaking natural wonder — but beneath their shimmering, blush-hued surfaces lies a rich and unexpected history of industry, resilience, and transformation.
A Vision in Pink — and Salt
Long before the area became known for eco-tourism and outback serenity, the Pink Lakes were a thriving center for salt extraction. The lakes — most notably Lake Crosbie, Lake Becking, and Lake Kenyon — get their distinct pink color from the presence of a red algae called Dunaliella Salina, which thrives in the salty water and produces beta-carotene. But in the early 20th century, it wasn’t the color that drew people — it was the salt.
1916: Ebenezer Jones and the Beginning of an Era
It all began in 1916 with a determined man named Ebenezer Jones, who became the first to commercially harvest salt from the Pink Lakes. Armed with little more than shovels and wheelbarrows, Jones manually gathered crystallized salt from the lake beds, setting in motion what would become a decades-long industry.
Jones's efforts quickly caught attention, and it wasn’t long before larger operations moved in to capitalize on the abundance of natural salt in the region.
1922: Steam, Salt, and the Sailor Salt Co.
By 1922, the Sailor Salt Company was operating a narrow 2-foot gauge tramway to improve the transportation of salt from the lakes to the nearby rail siding at Linga. The tramway, a novel innovation in such a remote location, offered new promise — but harsh conditions and maintenance difficulties proved too much.
1927: Return of the Camels
Just five years later, in 1927, the company turned back the clock and reintroduced camels to haul the salt. These hardy animals had once served explorers and pastoralists in the outback and were once again vital to an unforgiving landscape. For years, teams of camels plodded across the salt flats, dragging loaded sleds across the dry crust.
WWII: A War-Time Boom
During World War II, the demand for salt surged due to its use in food preservation, tanning leather, and other industrial purposes essential to the war effort. To meet the demand, camel trains were retired in favor of motorized road haulage, which could handle greater volumes with increased speed and efficiency. The Pink Lakes became a small but important contributor to Australia's wartime logistics.
Decline and End of an Era
Salt production continued into the early 1970s, when it became increasingly uneconomical to extract salt from such a remote location. Competition from larger-scale operations elsewhere, combined with improved refrigeration and changing technologies, led to the end of extraction.
By 1982, the final grazing lease in the area expired, marking the end of a chapter in the region’s working history.
1991: A Protected Landscape
In 1991, the Pink Lakes were formally incorporated into the Murray-Sunset National Park, one of Victoria's largest national parks. Today, visitors can walk among the remnants of salt harvesting equipment, view old tramway relics, and imagine what life must have been like for pioneers like Ebenezer Jones.
The transformation from industrial site to protected wilderness is a powerful reminder of how landscapes evolve — and how human ingenuity and resilience leave their mark.
Visit the Past — and the Pink
The Pink Lakes are not just a scenic stop; they're a living museum. Whether you're walking the Lake Crosbie loop, camping under the stars, or photographing the surreal, color-shifting waters, you’re stepping into a history that includes camel teams, war-time logistics, and one man’s dream with a shovel.
Out and about in Sunraysia? Be sure to include the Pink Lakes on your itinerary — and take a moment to stand where Ebenezer Jones once stood, surrounded by salt, sun, and the wide open sky.

Mildara Blass, a cornerstone of Australia's rich viticultural heritage, traces its roots back to 1888 when it was founded by William Benjamin Chaffey and established in Merbein.
The site initially focused on producing sherry and brandy, with its first vintage released in 1891. By 1937, the "Mildara" brand name was officially adopted.
In the 1950s, under the leadership of winemaker Ron Haselgrove, Mildara expanded into red table wines, marking a significant shift from its fortified wine origins. This evolution continued with the acquisition of a vineyard in Coonawarra in 1955, leading to the establishment of a winery there by 1973. The Coonawarra wines eventually became Mildara's flagship reds.
The 1980s and 1990s were marked by strategic acquisitions, including the purchase of Wolf Blass Wines in 1991. This expansion culminated in the formation of Mildara Blass. In 1996, Foster's Brewing Group acquired Mildara Blass, integrating it into its portfolio. Subsequently, in 2000, Mildara Blass merged with California's Beringer Wine Estates to form Beringer Blass Wine Estates.
Today, the legacy of Mildara Wines continues under the umbrella of Treasury Wine Estates, a global leader in the wine industry.
Throughout its history, Mildara has been associated with numerous brands, including Jamieson's Run, Annie's Lane, and Black Opal. The company has produced a diverse range of wines, from premium reds and whites to sparkling ranges. While specific employment figures are not readily available, the company's extensive operations have contributed significantly to the Australian wine industry.
Mildara Wines' journey from a regional sherry producer to a key player in the global wine market exemplifies the dynamic evolution of Australia's wine industry.
