Welcome To The Magnificent Upper Murray!

Nestled in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range, west of Mt. Kosciusko and 124 kilometres east of Albury/Wodonga, Corryong is a beautiful small town with much to offer the seeking tourist.

Bikers heading for the Phillip Island races and coach companies find the alternative route from the north preferable to the Hume Highway. The distant mountain ranges, lush river valleys and good road surfaces add to an enjoyable trip.

In the centre of town you will find our Visitor Information Centre. The volunteer staff are most obliging and keen to help you have a wonderful holiday. The centre has a vast array of brochures and maps for your particular interests.
