Albury Wodonga Touring

ALLURING TOURING
Albury Wodonga is the perfect place to base yourself while touring around and exploring our remarkably diverse and intriguing region.

A leisurely day trip in virtually any direction will take you into a different landscape of diverse cultures, history, heritage and experiences. 

North of here are the fertile farming areas of vast pastures and expansive wheat fields, beef studs and sheep farms spreading out around picturesque villages and country towns, museums and historic buildings and colonial architecture.

To the east is our natural adventure land of rugged, untamed natural wilderness and the source of the great Murray itself. Where the valleys begin to ascend the mountains you’ll find sleepy hamlets and secluded artists galleries, or enjoy playing in or by the expansive stretches of Lake Hume.

Travelling south you move headlong back into our Gold Rush past, where the elegance of Victorian architecture rises out of a sweeping, picturesque landscape that is as rewarding to the visitor as the gold metal under it was to the prospectors that came before.

A meandering journey up the Kiewa Valley will take you deep into Alpine country, through foothill forests, past fertile dairy and cattle country and to the towering faces of the magnificent Victorian Alps.

South west lies the valley of grapes, where fifth and sixth generations of family winemakers continue to hone their skills and honour their living heirlooms by producing some of the finest wines in the world. And just to the west is historic Corowa, which played a significant role in our developing nationhood and ultimate federation.
