High Country Rail Trail

The High Country Rail Trail weaves its way through the leafier areas of Victoria, making it one of the most relaxing – and healthy – ways to explore the region. The north-east section alone has nearly 300km of easy-to-ride trails, dotted with vibrant towns to break up the trip and refuel. The High Country Rail Trail starts at Wodonga and skirts Lake Hume en route to Shelley Station, a distance of 85km. V-Line trains run from Melbourne and stop at Benalla, Wangaratta, Springhurst, Chiltern and Wodonga.

The Army Museum Bandiana

History buffs will find plenty to marvel at with a visit to Australia’s largest military museum collection, just five kilometres from Wodonga. Spread over 5000 square metres, the museum has more than 150 military vehicles (plus artillery, medals, uniforms and notable objects) and covers Australia’s involvement in conflicts from the Boer War to today. Established in 1976, the building itself is a piece of history, being a World War II-era timber framed warehouse. The sheer scale is impressive in itself, so allow a good two hours.

Bonegilla Migrant Experience

The former army camp of Bonegilla, 12km east of Wodonga, was where new migrants arrived after World War II and got their first taste of Australian life. More than 300,000 new migrants spent time at this reception and training centre between 1947 and 1971. It was the longest operating post-war immigration centre in Australia and could house 8,000 people at one time. It’s estimated that one in 20 Australians have family links to Bonegilla. The centre is now a museum and place of reflection – well worth a visit.
