Geography

Albury is situated above the river flats of the Murray River, in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range. At the airport, Albury is 164 metres above sea level (539 feet). The Great Dividing Range, also known as the Eastern Highlands, is Australias most substantial mountain range. ...

Climate

Albury has a warm, temperate, four-season climate, with cool to mild winters and very warm to hot summers.^[7] In summer, the mean daily maximum temperature is around 30 degrees Celsius; however, this is subject to substantial daily variation. An average of 17 days with a maximum above 35 degrees occur in this summer period. Mean winter maximums are around 14 Celsius. Frosts are commonplace in winter, with approximately 20 days per year featuring minimums of below freezing.

Albury's mean annual rainfall is about 736 millimetres; more than Melbourne but less than Sydney. Rain can occur all year round, but the majority falls in the winter months with August's high mean of 88 millimetres comparing with the February low of 34 millimetres.In common with much of the non-tropical parts of Australia, there is very substantial annual variation in rainfall. Albury's place at the foothills of the ranges puts it in somewhat of a climatic transition zone; to the north and west, the inland plains are hotter and drier, while the range itself to the east is cooler and wetter.

Central Albury comprises the central business district (CBD) and lies between the railway line, the Murray River and Monument Hill.

Forrest Hill lies directly north east and covers the saddle between Monument Hill and Nail Can Hill, whilst west over the ridge lies West Albury. West Albury is primarily a residential area, but it is home to the War Memorial (locally known as the Monument), Riverwood Retirement Village, Albury Wodonga Private Hospital (which lies on the corner of Pemberton Street and the Riverina Highway), and the Albury sewerage treatment plant. All of West Albury was once wetland and bush. The only remaining remnant of this is Horseshoe Lagoon to the south-west of the suburb, which has been declared a Wildlife Refuge by NSW Parks & Wildlife. Forrest Hill is a suburb of Albury, New South Wales, located 1km North-West of Alburys CBD. Category: ...

To the north-west of West Albury is Pemberton Park, which is a large housing estate, and is probably one of the fastest-growing suburbs in Albury.

East Albury lies east of the railway line/freeway from the CBD and houses cover the Eastern hill whilst the flat land directly north of it is covered by parkland, housing, and further east, light industries as well as the city's airport. East Albury is set to boom from the freeway's development. Harvey Norman & Spotlight superstores have already been built west of the airport. The Mungabareena Reserve lies on the Murray south of the airport, and is considered an Aboriginal cultural site of some significance. Mungabareena means "meeting place".

South Albury is a mix of residential and industrial areas, whilst the floodplains south of the railway line are used for farming and grazing. Flood mitigation works in the 1990s have dramatically reduced the risk of flooding in the residential areas of South Albury.

North Albury was once covered by orchards and vineyards in the first half of the 20th century, as was a swamp where the James Fallon High School now stands, but after the second world war housing development in the area increased and Waugh Road was extended from David Street to the "Five Ways" intersection at Union Road, which ascribes the border between North Albury and Lavington. The locality of Glenroy is adjacent to North Albury, west of the Bungambrawartha Creek, and housing development was developed in the 1970s, including a significant Housing Commission public housing estate. Lavington is a northern suburb of Albury, New South Wales, Australia about 20 km squared in area and a population of about 15 000 people. ... The New South Wales (NSW) Housing Commission was the public housing agency created in 1942 to build and manage public housing in the Australian state of New South Wales. ...

Lavington was absorbed into the City of Albury local government area from the Hume Shire in the 1950s and housing and commercial development continued from that point until this day. The current Hume Highway, named Wagga Road, passes north-east, and Urana Road passes north-west though the suburb from the "Five Ways" or "Roundabout" road junction. The suburb also takes in the localities of Springdale Heights, Hamilton Valley and Norris Park. Lavington is a northern suburb of Albury, New South Wales, Australia about 20 km squared in area and a population of about 15 000 people. ... The Hume Highway / Hume Freeway is one of Australias most important and notable interstate highways which runs for 880 km inland between Sydney and Melbourne. ...

Thurgoona, to the east of Lavington, was established as a new residential suburb by the Albury Wodonga Development Corporation in the 1970s. In the 1990s a new campus of the Charles Sturt University was established here, as was an office of the Murray Darling Freshwater Research Centre.

Lake Hume

Lake Hume is situated on the Murray River upstream of Albury. It was constructed in the 1930s for irrigation purposes and has caused significant changes to the flow patterns and ecology of the Murray River. Part of Lake Hume near Tallangatta Lake Hume is a large artificial lake on the Murray River formed by the Hume Dam. ... Irrigation is the artificial application of water to the soil usually for assisting in growing crops. ...

Before the construction of the Hume Dam, flows in normal (non-drought) years were low in summer and autumn (though still significant overall), rising in winter due to seasonal rainfall and reaching a flood-peak in late spring due to snowmelt in the Murray and tributaries' alpine headwaters. The flow is effectively reversed now, with low flows in winter and sustained, relatively high flows in late spring, summer and early autumn to meet irrigation demands, although the spring flood peak has been virtually eliminated. In addition, the water released from the base of the Hume Dam is un-naturally cold. This flow reversal, temperature depression and removal of the spring flood peak has led to the drying out and loss of many billabongs and has harmed the populations of native fish of the Murray River such as the iconic Murray Cod.^[8] Trinomial name Maccullochella peelii peelii (Mitchell, 1838) The Murray cod (Maccullochella peelii peelii) is a large and striking predatory freshwater fish of the Maccullochella genus and the Percichthyidae family. ...

European exploration

The explorers Hume and Hovell arrived at what is now known as the Murray river at Albury on 16 November 1824 what their maps named 'Crossing Point'.

Albury High School

In 1851 with the separation of Victoria from New South Wales and the border falling on the Murray River, Albury found itself a frontier town. With increase in commerce with Melbourne, the first bridge was built in 1860.

Rail

The long platform

Albury railway station is on the main Sydney-Melbourne railway line. Originally New South Wales and Victoria had different railway gauges, which meant that all travellers in either direction had to change trains at Albury. To accommodate this, a very long railway platform was needed; the covered platform is one of the longest in Australia. The station is still served by two different rail gauges; the once daily broad gauge V/Line services from Melbourne as well as the standard gauge Countrylink XPT services which run twice daily.

In 1873 the broad gauge (5ft 3ins) railway line from Melbourne reached the township of Belvior/Wodonga. In 1881 the New South Wales standard gauge 4 ft 8½ins) railway line reached Albury, with a railway bridge joining the two colonies in 1883. Albury became the stop over, where passengers on the Melbourne-Sydney journey changed trains until 1962, when a standard gauge was opened between the two capitals.

Break of gauge

The break of railway gauge at Albury was a major impediment to Australia's war effort and infrastructure during World Wars I & II; for every soldier, every round of munitions, tins of food, mail, and animals were all off-loaded from the broad gauge and reloaded onto a standard gauge railway wagon. In his book Tramps Abroad, writer Mark Twain spoke of the break of gauge at Albury and changing trains... "Now comes a singular thing, the oddest thing, the strangest thing, the unaccountable marvel that Australia can show, namely the break of gauge at Albury - Wodonga. Think of the paralysis of intellect that gave that idea birth."(cited by Fisher below) With railways, a break-of-gauge is where a line of one gauge meets a line of a different gauge. ...

Public transport and cycling

Local public transport is provided exclusively by bus. Martins bus company and Mylon Motorways^[14] run a number of bus services to Wodonga and routes within Albury. Services run infrequently, and are virtually nonexistent at night. The overwhelming majority of local transport is by private car, however traffic is generally light. The opening of the Hume Freeway bypass on March 4th 2007^[15], has eased previous traffic congestion on the Lincoln Causeway, allowing better flow between Albury and Wodonga. In 2007, Albury City Council introduced a new, free shuttle bus around the Central Business District.

There are a number of bicycle paths in the city, including one to the outlying suburb of Thurgoona and across the state border to Wodonga. A new program has built many more bike tracks, including one from the riverside parks to Wonga Wetlands.^[16]

Industry

Albury serves as an administrative centre for the agricultural communities around the area, and the city is the home of a large newsprint paper mill which processes the pine logs planted in the mountains to the east, an engineering plant which produces automatic transmissions for cars, a major processing centre of the Australian Taxation Office, and other smaller secondary industries. Other large employers are: The Commercial Club Albury and Hume Building Society. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is the Australian government agency that collects taxes and enforces taxation legislation (except customs and external revenues, which are handled by the Australian Customs Service). ...
