| Wodonga information and attractions |
Wodonga is a major city situated on the Murray River on the main route between Melbourne and Sydney, with its larger "twin" city of Albury located just on the other side of the river in New South Wales. Wodonga has a large commercial centre, split between the Centro Wodonga Shopping Centre off Elgin Boulevard and the shops along High Street. At the southern end of High Street is a large 6-way roundabout with attractive gardens and a soaring water tower located in the centre. Wodonga has a large selection of parks and reserves, many situated along the numerous waterways in the area. Sumsion Gardens, just north of the town centre, surround a large lagoon and feature picnic and BBQ facilities as well as several walking tracks. Wodonga incorporates Gateway island which is surrounded by the Murray River and Wodonga Creek. On the island is the Gateway Village which offers a visitor centre, souvenir and craft outlets, a theatre, and a number of walking trails near the river. The state border between Victoria and New South Wales is located at the northern end of Gateway Island where Union Bridge crosses the Murray River. A car park at the border, accessible by Wodonga-bound traffic only, is a popular spot to stop and view the river at the border crossing. Wodonga is located within a short drive of attractions such as the numerous wineries in the Rutherglen area, the historical gold-mining towns of Beechworth and Yackandandah, and the vast waters of Lake Hume, just east of the city, which are ideal for water activities and fishing. |
