Australian postcode 3500 is centred on Mildura, the major regional city of north-west Victoria on the Murray River, and offers a relatively self-contained regional lifestyle with a population of about 34,600 in the city locality. Mildura is particularly attractive for people wanting sunshine, outdoor space and a relaxed river-oriented lifestyle: the local economy is strongly connected with horticulture, agriculture, food and wine, retail, health, education, transport and tourism, while the Murray River provides boating, fishing and recreational opportunities. It is well serviced for a regional centre, with hospitals, schools, TAFE/university-level education, substantial shopping and specialist medical services, and Melbourne is accessible by air; however, it is very remote from Victoria’s major metropolitan centres, about 475 km from Melbourne, and summers can be extremely hot and dry. Housing has historically been relatively affordable compared with Melbourne, although prices have risen considerably in recent years. Overall, 3500 would suit someone seeking a genuine regional city with good services, a strong agricultural economy and an unusually attractive river-and-sunshine lifestyle, provided they are comfortable with hot summers and considerable distance from Melbourne.
