"Pelicans on the Murray River" Mildura Travelogue by Kate-Me
Mildura Travel Guide: 76 reviews and 149 photos
I took my camera and some bread (quite a LOT of bread) down to the banks of the Murray River in Mildura, and waited for some pelicans....and I didn't have to wait long.
If you look closely, you can see the bulge at the side of his neck, which is the bread going down whole....
that huge net-shaped beak doesn't miss catching much.

I was interested in what you had to say about Mildura. I my be visiting there in the New Year.
those jacarandas are just beautiful! BTW we are neighbours on the rankings chart this week
You must be kidding me! Stopover? 5 green squares? did u fail to notice the squatters next door?
wonderful, wonderful birds..I was fortunate to see them in this area.great travelogue Kate.
More Transport Tips: Qantas have several daily flights, there's a V/Line bus/train service from Melbourne, bus to Adelaide, and also flights to Adelaide. Public Transport: a local bus service run by Sunraysia Bus Lines travels several routes about town.
That first pelican in the t'logue looks like he's ready to eat right out of your hand! Good tips re: the bakery with coffee shots & the Mexican restaurants - we have trouble finding Mexican food a lot when we travel!
They are among the most beautifull species of pelicans...but I could never imagen them eating bread. Strange. (only to see them I would visit this town.)
Always love reading your down to earth, helpful Aussie tips Kathryn. We didn't go through here on our big drive from Corowa to Adelaide, but would like to visit it one day.
Just passing through, we stayed here for the night at a caravan park on the banks of the Murray. A nice town!
