Wodonga, Victoria: Travel guide and things to do

Wodonga, VIC

Wodonga, VIC

Wodonga is located on the southern bank of the Murray River and is the first town travellers reach in Victoria when travelling south on the Hume Highway. As a twin town it is covered in considerable detail in the Alburyentry

The twin towns of Albury and Wodonga, although they are 7 km apart and on opposite sides of the Murray River, form a large urban area which is the border between New South Wales and Victoria. They have populations of 45 000 (approx) and 35 000 (approx) respectively. The two are usually referred to as Albury-Wodonga. Albury is indisputably the more interesting and attractive town. Located 567 km south-west of Sydney via the Hume Highway and 183 m above sea-level it has a well-developed manufacturing industry and is an important service centre for the surrounding area which supports agricultural, dairying and pastoral industries.
