Regional Councils - Wentworth Shire Council

The accessible outback. Being near to the major provincial centre of Mildura (Victoria) with its transport and accommodation facilities means that the outback is at the door of civilisation. Mungo National Park is within easy reach. Wentworth has a number of motels and hotels with various price ranges. The population of Wentworth is just over 1000. At the junction of the mighty Murray and Darling Rivers are Perry Sound Hills - red sand hills used for desert scenery with amazing sunsets over an escarpment. Large grape growing area for both wine and table grapes.

Films and/or commercials shot in Wentworth - Man from Snowy River 2 (movie), Flying Doctors (movie - Wentworth airport transformed into Alice springs), Bourke & Wills (movie at Perry Sand Hills), Boney (movie), Mad Max (movie), The Eye The Sky (movie), The Genie from Down Under (television series), Palmolive Naturals Shampoo/Conditioner (advertisement at Mungo National Park & Perry Sand Hills), advertising of new motor vehicles using background scenery at the Dept of Primary Industries in Dareton, Perry Sand Hills and other various scenic locations along the Darling River, Hurrah (Movie).
