About Albury Area
The iconic Murray River is lined with 600-year-old river gums, "drowned" trees, paddle-steamers and houseboats. At the twin cities of Albury–Wodonga, straddling the border of NSW and Victoria, you'll find a lively arts culture, heritage buildings, gardens and recreational facilities.
Nearby Corowa is known as the birthplace of Federation in Australia – it was in the old Corowa courthouse, in 1893, that the decision was made to draw up the constitution for the new nation. The town has one of the country's finest collections of intact Federation-style buildings under the protection of the National Trust.
Other towns in the area include Barooga, Culcairn, Henty, Holbrook, Howlong and Mulwala.
