Tourists Welcome Here

Of course tourists are welcome in Albury City. Public transport to the City are impressive, comparing more than favourably to many other centres in NSW. Beds a-plenty and lots of food and drink. What will you do here? What indeed?  

I have to agree that, once it becomes waterworthy, the replica paddlewheeler [Cumberoona] is unlikely to get lots of repeat users, nor draw hordes of tourists to Albury. [Unless it runs regularly and is free.]

So: Spend some agreeable hours in the [remaining] Botanic Gardens. Swimming pools are open. Lots of books in the splendid library. Stand in awe at the monumental Council Offices. Drop in to the Art Gallery. [You may be able to locate some 'Art Deco' buildings.] Try out the extensive airport car park, or the top-class playground down near the Murray. Come and see the magnificent heritage [working] railway station, the remains of an old aeroplane, the adopted rusty buckets, the beached boat [not too close]. Drive through the CSU campus grounds. Walk along the historic ....? Come and experience the ....? Come and see the .... ? [Who can fill the blanks?]

PS: The latest 'Accent' has turned up; so interested folks can look there. 'Locals' are very likely to access the highly-acclaimed 'Oddies Creek Adventure Playspace'. Visitors will require directions!

[The dismal tourism landscape within the City is not a reflection of the excellent Visitor Information Centre, nor the efforts of the staff. Tourists will be genuinely made welcome there, and given friendly assistance. If they come!]
