There’s something satisfying about travelling by train —the hum of the tracks, the changing landscape outside your window, and that feeling of slowing down before you’ve even reached your destination. A trip from Melbourne or Sydney to Albury Wodonga by rail is the perfect prelude to a weekend (or longer) filled with fresh air, local stories, and hands-on creative experiences.
No traffic, no stress, time to read, relax and enjoy the country views. You’ll arrive fresh and ready to explore.
Here’s how to turn your train journey into a memorable, getaway:
Stay
Book your preferred accommodation, whether it’s a hotel or motel, cabin or cottage, you’ll find the perfect fit for you.
Hike
Kick off your stay with Nature Trax, a guided eco-tour experience that connects you with the region’s stunning natural landscapes. Picking up from Albury or Wodonga, your guide Simon will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the land and its history.
Bike
Whether you are a casual rider or keen cyclist, touring on two wheels with AV Cycling is one of the best ways to explore. Andrew and Marion can pick you up directly from your hotel or the train station and lead you on an adventure.
