Albury is situated on the edge of the
Murray River , one of the major tourist destinations in
Australia.
There is a special magic about the Murray River, lined with
old red river gums, as it twists and turns on its journey
to the sea. The water is clear and cool, rest in the shade or
soak up the sun on its lush grassy shores.
In 1871 a government grant of 50 acres on the spot where
the first crossing took place, is now the outdoor recreational
centre of Albury.
On this land now the sight for the very popular
Botanical Gardens, The Albury Regional Meseum,

facilities Playground Equipment, Walk Tracks and
sweeping, well kept lush lawns, shaded by magnificent old
trees.

old river red gums. Bring a picnic or purchase a
snack from the kiosk, barbecue a meal in the picnic
