Each year, the red dirt plains of the Mundi Mundi Bash come alive with music, colour, and the unmistakable energy of a true outback gathering. Set just outside of Broken Hill, this iconic event draws travellers from all corners — Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and beyond — all chasing open skies, boot-stomping nights, and a little desert magic.

But before the dust kicks up and the guitars get going, every great road trip deserves a place to pause.

That’s where Trentham Waters Resort comes in.

Perfectly placed along the route to Broken Hill, the resort sits just outside Mildura, right on the edge of the Murray River. Whether you’re coming from the city or the coast, it’s a natural halfway point — a chance to reset between highways and headliners. From Melbourne, it’s a comfortable 6-hour drive to Trentham Waters, and just 3 hours from there to the Bash. For those coming from South Australia, the resort makes an easy detour, offering a scenic shift before the final leg west.

And if you’re heading in from Sydney, Trentham Waters makes an ideal overnight stay before the final stretch into the outback. Break up the long haul with a swim, a cool drink by the pool, and a night beneath the stars — no traffic, no rush, just river air and room to breathe.

And it’s more than just a stopover — it’s a destination in its own right.

With elevated villas designed for relaxation, drive-through caravan sites with lush green grass, and a 48-metre lagoon pool ringed by palms and sunbeds, Trentham Waters offers the kind of calm that road trips crave. Stretch out after the drive. Sip something cold by the water. Let the kids burn off energy at the splash park, mini-golf course or pump track. Or simply breathe in the quiet, riverside air before heading into the buzz of the Bash.

More than 10,000 caravanners roll into Mundi Mundi each year, making it one of the biggest gatherings of its kind in the country — and with around 100 powered sites at Trentham Waters, our resort offers the perfect base before or after the adventure.

We’ll be opening bookings for Mundi Mundi 2026 soon — and our sites fill quickly. Whether you’re chasing sunrise on the saltbush plains or winding your way home after a week of music and memories, Trentham Waters is the stop that turns your journey into something more.

There’s even time for a long soak, a good meal at the on-site restaurant, or one last morning swim before hitting the road again.

Because every big adventure deserves a good beginning — and an even better end.
