Albury on the border

View from Huon Hill lookout across to Albury

We are currently in Albury, it is a nice city on the border of Victoria with the Murray River the divider. The other side of the river is Wodonga. Yesterday we went up Huon Hill which has a 360 degree view, thought it would be a walk but bonus was you could drive to the top. There is quite a big Army base at the base.

After that we had a wander around the Botanic Gardens, very lush, not huge but very well maintained, all free so that is good. Above the gardens on the hill is a war memorial which also has great views.

Albury reminds me of Christchurch as there are hills all around like the Port Hills. As you can see everything is tinder dry. Today we are going to have lunch with Lyn from TIF's Dad and Daphne, they are caravanners too so should be fun.
