ABOUT WODONGA
Wodonga is Victoria's fastest growing regional city and can be found on the Victorian/New South Wales border, about 300 kilometres north-east of Melbourne. Albury-Wodonga combined has a population of approximately 99,000. Wodonga includes the main urban centre of the city, as well as the rural localities Bandiana, Baranduda, Barnawartha North, Bonegilla, Castle Creek, Ebden, Gateway

Island, Huon Creek, Killara, Leneva and Staghorn Flat. Wodonga's boundaries stretch from the Murray River to the north, Towong Shire in the east and Indigo Shire in the south and west. WHAT DO PEOPLE LOVE ABOUT LIVING IN WODONGA? Wodonga is a great place in which to live because it has excellent facilities for people of all ages, yet has a relaxed community feel. Wodonga has more than 80km of bike and walking paths, providing the perfect opportunity to walk by the Murray River or enjoy one of the scenic routes that link the city. Picturesque parks and gardens are dotted throughout the community providing an ideal spot to picnic. Wodonga is strategically placed between Melbourne and Sydney on the Hume Highway, with both cities easily reached by road, rail or air. Locals and visitors can access the renowned wine areas of Rutherglen, Milawa and King Valley in less than an hour, as well as the historic towns of Beechworth, Yackandandah and Chiltern. The snowfields of North East Victoria can be reached by car in just over an hour. 80 per cent of Australia's population can be reached by road/rail overnight while the Albury airport services Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney regularly. WHAT ARE WODONGA'S KEY ATTRACTIONS? Belvoir Park features a super playground, an off-leash dog park with agility equipment, walking tracks, picnic facilities, large open spaces and a lake that is home to a number of water birds. The Bonegilla Migrant Experience was Australiaโ€™s first, largest and longest operating migrant reception centre and the first Australian home for some 320,000 post-war migrants from more than 30 countries. Today, the centre stands as strong testimony to the bravery of post-war immigrants who came to and settled in Australia. Lake Hume is one of Wodongaโ€™s most defining features and is a haven for recreational boaters, skiers, swimmers and anglers. Wodongaโ€™s hillsides and parkland reserves provide the ideal bushwalking, bird watching and hiking tracks for the novice as well as the experienced walker. The Bandiana Army Museum is one of the largest and most diversified army museums in Australia. Gateway Village has something for everyone with HotHouse Theatre, a Jazz Club, the Wodonga Visitor Information Centre and La Maison Cafe located in the same precinct. You will also find the Hume Murray Farmer's Market every second Saturday between 8am and noon as well as GIGS Fine Art Gallery, Creatorsโ€™ Artspace and the Woodcrafters Cottage.
