Day Trips from Wodonga: Explore Victoria’s Border Country

Wodonga is the perfect base for discovering the beauty of north-east Victoria and southern New South Wales. Within an hour’s drive, you can experience everything from high country peaks to boutique wine trails.

Beechworth

Step back in time in Beechworth, one of Victoria’s best-preserved gold rush towns. Wander historic streets, sample handmade treats at the Beechworth Bakery, and explore the nearby Gorge Scenic Drive.

Rutherglen Wine Region

For wine lovers, Rutherglen is a short, scenic drive away and world-famous for its fortified Muscats and Durifs. Visit All Saints Estate or Campbells Wines for a cellar door experience rich in history and flavour.

Lake Hume and Tallangatta

Head east to Lake Hume, where boating, fishing and picnics come with stunning alpine views. Continue to Tallangatta, the “town that moved,” for a fascinating slice of local history and a relaxed country café stop.

Wherever you roam, Wodonga is your easy home base — close enough to explore it all, yet calm enough to unwind when you return.

The Albury Wodonga Art Trail

Art lovers will adore the Albury Wodonga Art Trail, a creative journey celebrating the culture and community spirit of the twin cities. Start at Hyphen – Wodonga Library Gallery, where rotating exhibitions showcase regional artists and touring collections. Then cross the Murray to explore MAMA – Murray Art Museum Albury, one of Australia’s leading regional galleries featuring contemporary works, sculpture and interactive installations.

Continue your trail through local studios and public art scattered along the Yindyamarra Sculpture Walk, where large-scale works share stories of the Wiradjuri people and the Murray River landscape. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or just love discovering creative places, this trail offers an inspiring way to see the region from a new perspective.

Relax, Return and Reflect

After a day of exploring, return to the comfort of Wodonga Holiday Park — where a barbecue dinner under the gum trees or a quiet evening by the pool is the perfect way to unwind and plan tomorrow’s adventure.

Wodonga’s central location means the best of Victoria’s border country is never far away — from world-class wineries to vibrant art trails and lakeside escapes, every day feels like a new discovery.
