Major public sites in Mourquong are often described as being in Buronga, when officially they are not. "Mourquong" is an older name for the broader area, while "Buronga" was a name given to the township that later formed on the other side of the Murray River from Mildura (hence it's earlier name "Mildura Bridge").
The Mourquong Irrigation Area is a distinct area, though without well-known infrastructure like a shop or school.
