HERITAGE
Albury LibraryMuseum
A
lbury Wodonga has
always been a place that
brings people together.
The past is alive and well
here, as you’ll discover.
Live the legends
For the original inhabitants
of the area, the Wiradjuri
people, the area where
Albury Wodonga stands
today was an important
river crossing and tribal
meeting place. The Albury
LibraryMuseum’s awardwinning Crossing Place
exhibition takes this as
the starting point for a
fascinating collection of local
objects, oral stories and film
that gives an engaging insight
into the city’s past. You can
also find out about some of
16
our more famous residents
– basketball player Lauren
Jackson, tennis players
Margaret Court and Jack
Crawford and country music
legend Lee Kernaghan.
X marks the spot
Here the explorers Hume
and Hovell found a place
to cross the Murray so
they could continue their
journey of discovery south
to Melbourne. Hovell Tree
Park at the western end of
Hume Street in Albury is the
location of the tree inscribed
by the explorer William Hovell
in 1824. Just near the park
on Wodonga Place stands the
Turks Head Hotel, Albury’s
first pub and once the most
popular place in town.
STEP BACK
The Albury Heritage Trail
takes you back a hundred
years or so into our social,
political and economic
past. Take a walk around
the 18th and 19th century
buildings on Dean Street
between Kiewa and Olive
Streets. Download the
Albury Historic Building
Walking Tour app to give
you info on 21 landmarks
along Smollett and Dean
Streets. The full tour takes
two hours, but you can stop
off at one of the great cafés
in the area to refuel. A hard
copy of the tour is also
available from the Albury
Visitor Information Centre.
Boy have we got some stories
to tell you!
Time travel:
Albury’s grand Italianate style
railway station, built in 1881,
was once a passenger transfer
point on the break of gauge
railway between Sydney and
Melbourne. This made it a very
busy place, and its covered
platform is the longest in
Australia.

What’s inside the box?
you’ll have to visit to find out.
MILItary buffs:
18
An impressive collection of war
vehicles at the Army Museum
at Bandiana awaits those with
an interest in war memorabilia.
There are also prisoner of war and
ordnance displays as well as the
Turkish 75mm Krupp Field Gun
captured by the 11th Australian
Light Horse Regiment and the 4th
Machine Gun Squadron during
fighting at Semakh in 1918.
HERITAGE
Calling australia home
The Albury Wodonga
region represented a new
beginning for over 330,000
European immigrants who
arrived in Australia after
World War II as part of the
government’s post-war
migration scheme.
Standing inside one of the
living quarters at Block 19,
you can almost hear the
many voices of those who
once began new lives in
Australia at the Bonegilla
Migrant Reception Centre.
A place that once bustled
with activity, it is now a
peaceful and contemplative
place that allows us to
think about the contribution
that migrants have made
to this country. Take the
opportunity to write or
record a piece of history
or try the new Suitcase
Trail, an interactive activity
designed for both children
and adults. It’s well worth
taking the Lake Hume loop
past the Hume Weir and
around Kangaroo Point.
www.bonegilla.org.au
Sandy Creek Bridge, Huon
Building vision
A triumph of engineering,
the Hume Dam wall was
constructed way back in
1919 using steam engines
and horse-drawn carts and it
took 17 years to complete.
When it was built it was the
largest dam in the southern
hemisphere. Some original
pieces of machinery are on
display at the wall.
The scale of this project is
truly awe inspiring. The dam
was built to provide water for
irrigation and hydro-electric
power for the state grid.
At capacity, it holds over five
times the water volume of
Sydney Harbour.
RIDE THE LINE:
If you like to get
outdoors for your
history fix, try
pedalling the old
railway line on the
High Country Rail
Trail. The old railway
line was built in
1887 and was used to
transport material for
the Snowy Mountain
Scheme. The last train
headed out along this
track in 1978. Take
in the beautiful high
country scenery as
you pass Lake Hume,
Bonegilla and several
beautiful reserves
with picnic facilities.

HEAD FOR VICTORIA’S
HIGH COUNTRY
Two hour’s drive from Albury
Wodonga is the place where
Australian legends were made.
This country, which inspired
Banjo Patterson’s ode to the
Man from Snowy River and
his famous downhill ride, is
also the place where the first
intrepid skiers tried Australia’s
pristine slopes. It’s still a
popular destination for skiing,
but it’s also a hot spot for
cycling, fishing, camping and
bushwalking. This is one of
the most beautiful landscapes
you’ll find anywhere.
Towong Shire
In the foothills of the Snowy
Mountains you’ll find the
small, picturesque town of
Corryong, whose street names
are those of local families
who have been farming this
area for generations. If you’re
exploring the tiny townships
and stunning scenery of the
area, Corryong is the ideal
place to stop and recharge –
try Pepper Leaf or Legends on
Hanson Street.
If you’re in town in autumn,
don’t miss Corryong’s Man
from Snowy River Bush
Festival, which celebrates
Banjo Patterson’s real-life
inspiration with bush culture,
folk music and spectacular
horsemanship.
Worth going a bit further afield
for is the Snowy Mountains
Scheme at Murray 1 Power
Station near Khancoban.
To inspect the power station
and learn more about it, visit
between 9.00am and 4.00pm
on any day during the summer
months (weekdays only in
winter).
Mount Hotham – Falls Creek
– Mount Buffalo
Falls Creek and Mount Hotham
are fabulous places to ski and
you’ll find the perfect slope
to suit your level of expertise.
Mount Buffalo is your spot for
family snow play, tobogganing
and cross-country.
Get your snow gear from the
specialist supply stores in
Albury Wodonga before you
head up. Buses run from
here to the snowfields every
day during the ski season,
so Albury Wodonga is the
perfect base for your snow
adventures. Or skip the drive,
book a heli-shuttle with Forest
Air Helicopters and land at
Falls Creek in just 35 minutes!
