Red Cliffs information and attractions

Introduction:

Red Cliffs is situated 18 kilometres south of Mildura on the main highway to Melbourne, close to the Murray River. The area around Red Cliffs is a major citrus and grape growing district and features a number of wineries.

The town's commercial centre is situated just off the Calder Highway, around Indi Avenue and Ilex Street. Big Lizzie, a 45 tonne steam tractor used to clear the surrounding land in the early 1900s, has been preserved in Barclay Sqaure, facing the Calder Highway.

The nearby Murray River offers a number of attractions including walking tracks, picnic spots, and the Cliff Top Lookout which commands views from high riverside cliffs that have given the town its name.
