Albury Wodonga

Albury and Wodonga sit either side of where the nation’s busiest highway crosses our greatest river. As a meeting point of contrasts and cultures its significance stretches all the way back to the first Aboriginal inhabitants who gathered here long before the arrival of Europeans. Being on the natural border between the two oldest and strongest colonies, Albury and Wodonga grew up as both river port and rail head. They were the start and end of much of the trade, travel and commerce between the two colonial powers. The contrasts and contradictions of time and place, history and progress, river and mountain, culture and cultivation have melded themselves into an unlikely harmony of differences not experienced anywhere else in the country.
