The Chaffey Trail is the story of how Mildura became an irrigated oasis amid an arid land and Australia's First Irrigation Colony.
Trace Mildura's rich irrigation history by following The Chaffey Trail - a self-guided tour of key heritage sites and buildings of the region. Named in honour of Canadian-born brothers George and W.B. Chaffey, The Chaffey Trail provides an insight into the vision and spirit of the area's early settlers. Their legacy lives on at numerous buildings and sites throughout the region and comes alive along The Chaffey Trail.
The Chaffey Brothers wanted to make Mildura a vibrant community. Their plans included many visionary concepts that ended up making Mildura the success it is today.
Now you can trace the developments and concepts of Mildura through the Chaffey Trail.
In 2022 they introduced guided walking tours in addition to the self-guided tour options.
Save the date for May 31, 2024, and join in the community event celebrating Mildura Day.
