If you’re in Mildura for Australia Day, Nowingi Place is where its at. A relaxed, family-friendly morning on the river where you can grab a feed, catch some live entertainment, and celebrate the people who make our region tick.

Mildura Rural City Council’s annual Australia Day celebrations are on Monday 26 January, kicking off at 8:00am at Nowingi Place (Hugh King Drive, Mildura), running through to 11:00am.

What you can expect on the morning

This one’s designed for an easy “rock up and enjoy” start to the day:

  • Free Lions Club breakfast (yes please)

  • Coffee van on site for the caffeine crew

  • Live entertainment to set the mood

  • Australia Day Awards announcements — a proper spotlight on local legends

  • Bring a picnic rug or chair and make yourself comfy 

And honestly, the location does half the work — Nowingi Place sits right on the Murray River backdrop, with that big open grassed amphitheater feel that just works for community events.

The part I love most: local recognition

The Australia Day Awards are one of the best bits of the morning. It’s a chance to clap for the people and groups who quietly (and sometimes loudly!) make the Mildura region better every week. 

Quick tips (so you enjoy it more)

  • Arrive early if you want to snag breakfast without the queue.

  • Hat, water, sunnies — it’s Mildura… you already know the deal.

  • Pack a chair/rug so you can sit back and soak it all in. 

Also happening around the region

If you’re not in Mildura itself (or you want to do a “double header”), other Australia Day Event locations also include  Underbool, Irymple, Colignan, Millewa (Cullulleraine), Merbein, Red Cliffs, Murrayville, and Ouyen
