albury and wodonga.

We recently had a chance to visit the cities of Albury and Wodonga for a day. Ben had some work to do in Albury, and I came along for the car ride and the chance to explore a new part of Australia. 

Around 300+ kilometres from Melbourne, Albury and Wodonga are twin cities separated by the Murray river. Albury is technically in New South Wales, while Wodonga is part of Victoria.

The weather was gorgeous and warm during the time of our visit, which was perfect for exploring many of the area's beautiful parks and trails. After a few months of intense reading and academic writing, spending a day wandering around some amazing areas was exactly what I needed.

I mostly spent time exploring Albury, but I did have some fun checking out the border of Wodonga.

On the way home, Ben and I checked out Huon Hill, which has a nice 360 degree lookout of the surrounding towns, which also include Lake Hume, Mt. Bogong, Mt. Feathertop, Kiewa, and Bonegilla.

I highly recommend Albury for people who love nature and beautiful views. But there's definitely more to do in the area, and it would be nice to see more of Wodonga, next time perhaps.

It was also fun to be on the road again, exploring new places and doing the tourist thing. I really do love our little Australian road trips.
