Easy to reach, impossible to forget

Getting to the North of the Murray region is an easy and scenic journey, whether you're traveling from Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra or further afield. For those driving, the region is a comfortable three-hour trip from Melbourne via the Hume Freeway or a six-hour drive from Sydney, with well-connected roads leading directly to the hearts of Corowa, Howlong, and Mulwala.

If you prefer to travel by rail or coach, V/Line and NSW TrainLink offer regular services to nearby Albury and Wangaratta, where connecting buses make reaching our riverside towns a breeze. For those arriving from further afield, Albury Airport is just a short drive away, providing multiple daily flights from major capital cities and convenient car hire options to help you start your adventure immediately.
