Albury, commonly associated with its Victorian twin, Wodonga, are one of the few rural Australian cities to experience a boom, mainly from industrial de-centrilisation in recent times. Albury is by far the most noticeable city that is yet to be bypassed by the ever expanding Hume Hwy/Fwy. Albury's history is interestingly enough linked with the two explorers, Hume and Hovell, as the town/city's location sprung from their discovery of the Murray River. The old Murray gum in Hovell Park in Albury still shows the carving done by Hovell. The city of Albury itself is reasonably attractive, perhaps moreso than Wodonga, with the outstanding parks along the Murray and the well laid out city centre. The view from Monument Hill lookout is certainly worth a visit.
