Do you sometimes forget what’s on offer just 90 minutes down the road at our closest regional city neighbour? Over the past few years, Albury Wodonga has become quite the mecca for art, culture, food and wine enthusiasts and you don’t have to brave the crowds of the city or the expensive accommodation and parking. Whether you’re travelling solo, with a friend or with the whole family, Albury Wodonga has something to inspire you this summer. First item on the agenda has to be art and Albury Wodonga is now home to MAMA - Murray Art Museum Albury (www.mamalbury.com.au). Re-imagining what a gallery can be, MAMA is so much more than a place to see artworks, it is an all-encompassing experience and every corner is bold, vibrant and alive. MAMA hosts both international touring exhibitions and local collections that reflect the region and Albury Wodonga’s own cultural identity. The Archibald Prize is being exhibited at MAMA until 28 January 2018. If you’re keen to explore your art outdoors, take the time to visit the Yindyamarra Sculpture Walk. Created by local Indigenous artists, the Walk consists of sculptures scattered along five kilometres of the Wagirra trail between Kremur Street and Wonga Wetlands. The sculptures are accompanied by interpretative panels and videos via smartphone which tell the story of Aboriginal history and the cultural significance of the Murray River. For art buffs and collectors, make sure you visit Sam and Aaron, local Indigenous gallerists and artists at Wickman Gallery on Dean Street. Albury Wodonga is also big on entertainment venues, notably The Cube Wodonga, Hothouse Theatre and the Albury Entertainment Centre. At The Cube on 13 February 2018, Kate Cebrano will perform her new show ‘Love Songs’ with her musical partner, ARIA and Helpmann Award-winning Paul Grabowsky.

The city’s cafe culture can rival Melbourne’s with no shortage of hipsters and baristas, then there’s the restaurants and bars to satisfy any culinary craving. Check out the small European style Bistro Selle or the delightful La Maison Restaurant, and for wine buffs who appreciate great food, the Border Wine Room is not to be missed. For daytime dining The River Deck is the most scenic of restaurants overlooking the mighty Murray and offers seasonal, fresh food in a French style.
