huon hill parklands

A bit of a drive up the hill but well worth it. You get a good view over Lake Hume and the wall as well as up the Mitta Mitta arm of the lake.

Once you find the way up the winding road the view is the best around Albury-Wodonga! Bring a picnic, have a barbecue and enjoy the time "up there" for as long as you can!

I was one of the lazy people who drove up to near the top and then just walked the last little way. There really are magnificent 360 degree views over Wodonga and Albury. The road is a bit scary and I wouldn't like to meet too many cars coming the other direction. Thankfully the day that we visited it was relatively quiet.

Great Walking and cycling tracks with toilets at top of hill and BBQ area. There is also a road you can drive up for the lazy people. Next challenge is cycle or run up the tracks as it is only 5 km.

I ride my pushbike up Huon Hill a couple of times a week and love the place. They now have an undercover electric BBQ, a large rainwater tank for drinking water and full toilet facilities. The walking/cycling traks are well sign posted and they have viewing platforms as lookouts. Take a picnic.

This parkland covers one of the largest hills in the area, giving you stunning views of Albury, Wodonga, Lake Hume and the Murray River. During the day it is a lovely place to be but my favorite time of day to go up is night as you can see much more clearly the lights of all the different local areas. One thing to take into account: The road up to the top of the hill is a challenging and VERY steep drive, and requires a confident driver. Although its possible for me to get up there in my Ford Falcon, a 4WD would always be the safest option, especially after any sort of rain. Occasionally you will come across cows, kangaroos and other wildlife. Although I imagine they are quite tame, the livestock of course belong to someone so I'd just leave them be and wait for them to get out of your way. A great place to visit if you are in the area as it really gives you a birds-eye view of this great part of the world. Bring the binoculars!
