Transport
Planes, trains & automobiles
We've had visitors coming here for centuries so it's not surprising that we've made getting here, from anywhere in the country, really easy.
Albury Airport is just ten minutes from the Albury city centre, and fifteen minutes from Wodonga, with Qantas and Regional Express providing multiple flights in and out of Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and several other regional centres.
If you need a car or bus when you're here you'll find all the major car rental companies and coach lines are represented here.
A lovely way to see the country at a leisurely pace is to do it by bike. There are several bicycle rental shops in the region with a wide range of bikes for every type of terrain.
Albury Wodonga is on the major railway link between Melbourne and Sydney, providing you with day and night express services between the two capital cities. Travel times are approximately the same as driving by road.
Albury Wodonga is also 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 where 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 artist's 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.
Our very hospitable climate
Our region has a Mediterranean climate, which means that the changes of season are quite vivid.
We have hot, dry summers (cooler in the Alpine regions) mild autumns and springs, and cool winters.
We enjoy long stretches of clear, blue skies in summer, and crisp sunny days in winter.
In fact, we get as many hours of sunshine as they do on the Gold Coast in Queensland. Which means that you can come here any time of the year and enjoy lots of sunny times touring around or just relaxing in our magnificent countryside.
