Who discovered Mildura?
The area where Mildura is now located was first discovered by Captain Charles Sturt in January 1830. Sturt travelled down the Murray River, tracing it to the sea, and reported on the rich, fertile land he noted along its banks. Mildura was actually settled in 1847, and only after Major Thomas Mitchell had travelled through western Victoria and reported on what he called "Australia Felix" or "Australia's Happy Land" because it was one of the most fertile regions he had yet seen in Australia. The first actual European settler in the Mildura district was Frank Jenkin, who swam a mob of cattle across the Murray River from New South Wales, and illegally took up land in the region then called Yerre Yerre. He did not have a licence, so he was forced back into New South Wales by Hugh Jamieson who was the legal licence holder. Mildura was gazetted as the name for the town on 20 March 1858.
