Albury

Albury sits on the northern bank of the Murray River and serves as a regional center where New South Wales meets Victoria. The town connects rural communities with major transport routes and acts as a hub for commerce and administration.

Hume and Hovell reached the Murray River in 1824, opening the region to European settlement. The railway arrived in the 1880s and turned the site into an important transfer point between the two colonies.

The Wiradjuri people maintain their connection to Albury's lands through traditional practices, stories, and ongoing community involvement in local decision-making processes.

Most facilities lie in the center and are easy to reach on foot or by car. The town is flat and simple to navigate, with parking available near the main streets.

The Murray River forms the state border, so you can cross between New South Wales and Victoria in just a few steps. This boundary shapes daily life for residents, who often shop or work on both sides.
