🌿 Southeast Australia Trip (Day 3) – Albury: The Charming Border Town

Day 3 brought us to Albury, the last inland town in NSW before crossing into Victoria! 📍 Albury sits right on the NSW-VIC border, facing its twin city, Wodonga, across the Murray River. With just 40,000 residents, this sunny, low-rainfall town thrives thanks to its wetlands, lakes, and strategic location. 🌊 Must-Do in Albury 1. West Albury Wetlands A serene wetland park perfect for nature lovers. Walk along the trails 🚶—locals here are super friendly and will greet you with a smile! 😊 Spot waterbirds, ducks, pelicans, and cormorants hiding among the reeds. Follow the path to the Murray River for stunning water views. ⏰ *Allow 2+ hours to fully explore.* 2. Hume Dam A massive hydroelectric dam where the Murray River meets Lake Hume. Though we missed the epic water release, the views of the mountains and lake were breathtaking! ⛰️💦 Walk across the dam and read about its history and engineering. Fun fact: It’s one of Australia’s largest dams! 🇦🇺 #AlburyAdventures #NSWTravel #MurrayRiver #NatureWalks #AustraliaRoadTrip 🌞
