Mildura - Paddlesteamer Ride
PS Melbourne Cruises - As Australia's most famous Paddlesteamer, the Melbourne has attracted passengers from all over the world. A unique feature of most cruises is travelling downstream through Lock 11, which was built to bypass the weir across the river. Passengers can experience the workings of a lock as the Melbourne is lowered to the downstream level and raised again on the return journey.
An informative and comprehensive live commentary of the river and it's history, fauna and flora is conducted throughout the cruise involving the public in the current beauty and history of the river and it's vessels. Passengers can see the fireman fire the boiler and enjoy the magic of the old engine as it drives the massive gears of the paddlewheels, resounding the times of the 'Old Paddlesteamer Days'.
PV Rothbury Cruises - The family day cruises go downstream through Lock 11. The lock was built to permit boats to bypass the weir across the river. Passengers can experience the workings of Lock 11 as the Rothbury is lowered to the downstream level and raised again on the return journey.
