EXPERIENCE THE BEST OF ALBURY

With a new art museum, premier regional race-day, contemporary accommodation, award-winning dining and an iconic riverside locale, now is the time to book a trip to visit the vibrant city of Albury. Destination NSW CEO Sandra Chipchase said: “Albury is well known for its history and heritage, making it a great base from which to explore the wonder of the Murray River. Enjoy a guided canoeing or kayaking tour, go fishing or ride a bike along the riverbank,” she said.

“More recently, Albury is gaining recognition as a bustling regional hub for arts and cultural experiences, events and memorable dining. With one of the state’s premier racing carnivals, The Commercial Club Albury Gold Cup coming up, there are some great value travel packages on offer so now really is the time to book.”
