ALBURY WODONGA HIDDEN GEMS

EAT „… DRINK „… EXPLORE… AND… BE… ENTERTAINED

Warm in welcome, seasonal by nature and cosmopolitan in appeal, Albury Wodonga is a favourite among those in the travel know. Lying in the heart of the Melbourne-sydney-canberra triangle, it’s easily accessible, with many reasons to stay and play. Here are just a few.

NATURE FOR EVERYBODY

Hugged by nature, the region is both a showcase of natural beauty, and an avenue to engage with it. More than 90km of tracks/trails are a great reason to ditch the car for two wheels or feet, while the mighty Murray is a watersports haven. At Lake Hume, boaties can revel in waters six times the size of Sydney Harbour, stocked with a tempting array of fish for anglers. Wonga Wetlands, meanwhile, are a must-see for birdwatchers, bushwalkers and more, with an ecosystem supporting everything from ancient river red gums to pelicans. Take a camera!

GLIMPSE INTO YESTERYEAR

With a sense of reflection, the regional cities embrace many facets of the past. From yesteryear architecture along the Historic CBD Walking Tour to the stories of first nation Wiradjuri people, and the tales of post-war migrants shared at Bonegilla Migrant Experience. It’s a rich reminder never to forget where we came from.

ARTISTIC PASSIONS

Buzzing with creativity, the region is tailor made for arts. Chief drawcard is the Murray Art Museum Albury, known for its innovative exhibitions, but also for encouraging visitors to engage, whether on a guided tour or through art classes. Other highlights include the Yindyamarra Sculpture Walk, telling the Wiradjuri stories of the Murray River.

INDULGENCE ON A PLATE

One great joy of a holiday is not cooking, and why would you, with chef’s hatted restaurants, colourful farmer’s markets and even a regional beer trail? You may need to loosen your pants!
