It lies 38.7 km north-north-west of Mildura, VIC (from Mildura, VIC: bearing 347°T), and is situated 25.2 km north-north-west of Coomealla.

The air, even in the heat of the day, carries a subtle coolness drawn from the water, a promise of shade and respite that permeates the very character of Wentworth.
This is a place shaped by water and the ambition of those who sought to harness its power. Wentworth's history is inextricably linked to its role as a vital river port, a bustling hub for paddle steamers that once plied these waterways, carrying wool and supplies in an era before the railway dominated the landscape. The town's economy, while now diversified, still feels the echo of that past, with agriculture, particularly the cultivation of fruit and vegetables, thriving in the fertile soils. The iconic orange groves, their glossy leaves a vibrant contrast to the ochre earth, are a distinctive feature, their sweet fragrance a characteristic scent on the breeze, a testament to the enduring bounty of this riverine land.
