A thriving modern city with a leisurely country style, Albury-Wodonga offers a charming mix of stately heritage buildings, established parks and gardens and tree-lined streets.
The Murray River flows between the twin cities, winding through a magnificent unspoiled landscape of rolling valleys, hills and lush farmlands. Once a busy trade route for paddle steamers, the river is now very much a part of Albury-Wodonga's relaxed and attractive lifestyle.
Albury-Wodonga is a place to discover museums and art galleries, fine food and wine, great sporting facilities and excellent freshwater fishing.
The city’s rich history and pioneer heritage is reflected in the grand architecture of its buildings, most notably the restored Albury Railway Station. Originally completed in 1882, it remains one of the most imposing and significant country stations in Australia.
Travel the Murray River by paddle steamer or canoe. Explore local museums and discover the region’s pioneering past and indigenous cultures. Visit the Albury Regional Art Gallery, home to an impressive permanent collection of works by Australian landscape painter Sir Russell Drysdale.
Popular local events include the Festival of Sport from January to March, Long Lunch on the Murray in March and the Albury Wodonga Region Food and Wine Festival in October.
