About Culcairn
This lush, Albury country town with tree-lined streets and pretty parks is like an oasis in the Riverina. Culcairn is located in the growth corridor between Wagga Wagga and Albury-Wodonga.
From 1862 until 1865, the Culcairn area was the stamping ground of notorious bushranger Dan "Mad Dog" Morgan. Morgan's stand-off at Round Hill Station in 1864 resulted in the death of station overseer John McLean and a bounty of �1,000 being placed on Morgan's head. Climb to the summit of Morgan's Lookout and admire the patterns of the paddocks below.
Don't miss a guided tour at the Premier Yabby Farm and a casual lunch in the delightful gardens at the rear of historic Culcairn Hotel.
