Robinvale

The town of Robinvale is located between the large centres of Mildura and Swan Hill, and is situated on a peninsula of land surrounded on three sides by the Murray River, making it an attractive holiday spot. The township of Robinvale was founded in October 1924 when advertisements for a land sale appeared. The town is surrounded by irrigated fruit and vegetable farms as well as a number of wineries, including McWilliams and Robinvale Wineries. Development of the town was slow until soldier settlement in 1947.

From the slow beginning's Robinvale township is growing rapidly. Having a diverse multi cultural population approaching 8000 inhabitants and the seasonal population adds to the growth of this modern town.

The Murray River offers great water sports activities and a number of points of interest for visitors close to the town.

Other attractions in Robinvale include the historic Robinswood Homestead, a huge windmill at the northern entrance to town which is claimed to be the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, and the Rural Life Museum, located opposite the visitor information centre.
