Mildura and the greater Murray Mallee region is an oasis which
is blessed with a Mediterranean climate, year-long sunshine and
essential irrigation from the Mighty Murray River. This is one
reason why the region is one of the most respected and well
known food bowls in Australia, which is famous for export of
quality fresh and dried fruit. The Mildura region accounts for
approximately 21% of Australia's citrus and produces over
120,000 tons to both local and international markets.
