Nice place
Had a lot of fun here and made some good friends and money. Great beds, clean. This was one of the best places I stayed while I was in oz.

Disorganised and chaotic!
On first impressions the place what nice and new and the manager, then, Wally was very nice. I soon found out there was very little work to satisfy the forty-five-odd travelers staying there. The management clearly had not made the connections with farmers required to supply the sheer number of residents with regular work. The management also allowed unruly and sometimes abusive residents to stay even after incidents involving violence had occurred. The organisation and frequency of work remained confusing and frustrating throughout my stay and I had to organise my own work by contacting the farmers direct. Having said that it was very clean (and the nicest backpackers in Mildura) and the free BBQ every two sundays was good too. You win some, you lose some.
