We wanted to do something a little different for my birthday and decided to try the MV Paradise Queen, it was well worth the trip and the lunch was great. They take you out on Lake Mulwala for a guided tour and you get the history of the lake and surrounds. It was very relaxing, a terrific photo opportunity and lovely way to spend a couple of hours.

After visiting Yarrawonga/Mulwala many times in the past i decided to take the one and only and myself on a cruise of the lake. It's a huge man made lake which flooded a forest, so the old dead trees are mostly still there, poking out of the river and lake area, making for a sensational view, especially at dusk. The cruise started off on the Yarrawonga foreshore, and slowly trundled out to the east, which takes you along the original path of the Murray, through a lot of the flooded trees, and then eventually around to the Mulwala side, where there are many, expensive houses. The tour is guided so there's commentary the whole way. Refreshments are available and the service is very friendly and welcoming. You'll get a great perspective of the iconic bridge, and then end back where you started. The value is pretty good, the experience is unique and it's a very relaxing way to spend a lazy afternoon. Well recommended!
