Visit Some Museums in The Mildura Area
Holden Museum | WW2 Museum | Rio Vista
Mildura has a number of small museums, catering to a wide range of tastes. For the car enthusiast, there is the Holden Museum just across the river in Buronga. For aviation history and WW2 buffs there is the RAAF museum at the airport, and let's not forget Chaffey House, Rio Vista, and the Art Centre. So much to see, so little time! More will be added to this list over time.

WW2 Aviation Museum

The RAAF museum is at Mildura airport, and staffed by knowledgeable volunteers. Lots of models, medals, old newspaper clippings and memorabilia dating back to WW2.
The original building was in a sad state of repair, and the museum is currently closed while a transition is being made to a new building (this will still be located in the same area). Details of this will be updated here, once the museum is open to the public again.
