Take Your Pick, Adventurer! (or Just Someone Who Wants to Get There)
Here's the lowdown on your Mildura migration options:
Soaring Through the Skies: Become a temporary bird for a few hours. Flights are a breeze (pun intended) and get you to Mildura faster than you can say "riptide rapids" (which Mildura thankfully doesn't have). This is the most time-efficient option, perfect if you're short on time or just really love tiny bags of peanuts.
Cruising Down the Highway: Buckle up, because it's a road trip extravaganza! Hire a car and blast your favourite tunes (bonus points for daggy Aussie classics) as you cruise along scenic highways. Just remember, the co-pilot is in charge of snacks (and maybe navigation, unless you secretly enjoy getting hopelessly lost).
Bus Bonanza: This is your chance to channel your inner greyhound (the dog, not the bus company...although maybe they have themed buses, you never know). Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ever-changing scenery. Plus, on a bus, you can become a pro at the fascinating art of napping with your head at a precarious angle.
**_But wait, there's more! There's also the option of a train journey, which combines some of the best aspects of both car and bus travel (minus the questionable napping angles).
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
**_**No matter how you choose to get there, the most important thing is to book your transport in advance, especially during peak seasons. You don't want to be left singing the blues (or the Mildura waltz, if that exists) because all the seats are taken.
