Introduction:

Red Cliffs is situated 18 kilometres south of Mildura, close to the Murray River.

The town is located within a major citrus and grape growing district, sustained by irrigation from the Murray River.

The commercial centre of Red Cliffs is situated just off the Calder Highway, around Indi Avenue and Ilex Street. Big Lizzie, a 45 tonne steam tractor which started clearing the surrounding land for farming in 1920, has been preserved in Barclay Square, facing the Calder Highway.

A journey eastwards along Pumps Road leads to the Red Cliffs Scenic Reserve where the Cliff Top Lookout commands fine views over the river and surrounding landscape. Nearby is a pumping station which draws water from the Murray River up over the cliffs and into a network of irrigation channels.
