Begin your journey at Lowe Square Reserve, where a significant part of Howlong's history stands proud and tall.
The Howlong Hovell tree was planted by President of the Hume Shire Council, Mr J Pearce Smith Jr, in the recreation section of Lowe Square Reserve on 10 August 1938. The tree was grown by the curator of the Albury Botanical Gardens, from seeds taken from the ‘Hovell Tree’ located on the bank of the Murray River at Albury.
William Hovell carved his initials and year on the tree when he passed through on his overland journey from Sydney to Melbourne in 1824.
Pure joy as you wake to the sunrise. Awe as you make it to the snowy peak. A sense of adventure as you motor across red plains. The relief of rejuvenation as you wade into an alpine stream. Connection as you taste native, fragrant leaves. A sense of belonging as you return to your favourite holiday house. Freedom as you dash into the waves. Discover the endless feelings a visit to NSW can inspire.
