A Vibrant City
Did you know that Albury was once considered an option to become Australia's National Capital?
Some say the planners were keen on the city because it sits at the epicentre of the Sydney-Melbourne-Adelaide triangle, where 75% of all Australians live.
Others say the main attraction was the region's distinct natural beauty, with the majestic Murray winding its way through invigorating alpine terrain to the east and fertile river plains to the west.
Located in Wiradjuri Country and covering 332 square kilometres, the city is home to a bustling economy, world-class medical and health services, a vibrant cultural and artistic scene, sporting amenities to rival the capital cities, and seemingly endless choices for leisure and recreation.
Albury has a cosmopolitan feel that reflects a unique multicultural heritage. It's a place where the Indigenous and pioneering populations blend with post-WWII migrant communities - German, Dutch, Italian, Greek, Philippine and Polish - along with more recently arrived Vietnamese, Laotians, Albanians and Bosnians.
As a result, Albury is a thriving modern city that is full of variety and vitality.
