Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- VictorianladMelbourne, Australia18,001 contributionsAn enjoyable walk with the added bonus on the return of plenty of seating in the well maintained Albury Botanic Gardens.
I especially liked how the monument is in line with the similarly whitewashed footbridge built about a decade ago over the Sydney - Melbourne rail line and noisy Hume Freeway.Written 29 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You will enjoy the walk as well the different kind of animals that you would be able to see (up to the season) such as Pelicans, turtles along different kind of birds. If you are lucky you may see the platypus.Written 31 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is a large, comfortable waiting room with some areas separated (so I expect they can be more easily kept warm in winter). The seemingly endless platform was especially impressiveWritten 16 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jenn PWangi Wangi, Australia460 contributionsWe walked to this beautiful church from our accommodation. Set in magnificent grounds, bells ringing before & during the service was lovely.
Made very welcome. Loved the choir. They are up above, which was a shame, as I love a choir walking down the aisle singing, and back again at the end of the service. Not possible with this church. Organ music was awesome.Written 5 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

After training in Egypt his unit landed at Gallipoli on 12 September and Borella, who was promoted corporal later that month, served there until November.
In January 1917 he was promoted to sergeant, and in March was awarded the Military Medal for conspicuous bravery at Malt Trench, Warlencourt. He fought at Morlancourt and Hamel and on 17 July, for 'most conspicuous bravery in attack' at Villers-Bretonneux, won the Victoria Cross. While leading his platoon in an assault on an enemy support-trench, he noticed a machine-gun firing through the Australian barrage; he ran out ahead of his men into the barrage, shot the gunners with his revolver and captured the gun. He then led a small party against the strongly held trench, bombed two dug-outs and took thirty prisoners.
Albert was a really remarkable man... he was racking up medals and probably just thinking that was his job. The memorial, located outside of a nursery, was commissioned by George and Debra Benyon and built in honour of Albury’s only Victoria Cross recipient Captain Albert Borella VC, MM, MID..Written 23 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A national competition was held, asking for designs for a new town hall... there were twenty submissions to the competition.
Gordon Mc Kinnnon (Gordon McKinnon & Sons, NSW) was successful . His designs included the Parramatta Park gatehouse, Cherrybrook Uniting Church, the School of Arts at Bowral, Symonds’ Building in Sydney (Pitt Street), additions to the house Adamshurst at Albury, and the town halls in Forbes, Inverell and then of course this hall.
Ernest William Sharp was chosen as a Master Builder to construct the hall. He signed the contract for this in 1907 , it was to cost £3707.
It opened in 1908 ... the NSW premier opened it, Sir Charles Gregory Wade. Very important decisions were made in this building... about electricity and sewerage. Neville Wran made money available for the refurbishment of this building in the 1980s... at one point they were looking at demolishing it. Who says that politicians don't make good decisions. :)
What will you see here today? It is quite attractive... it has great architectural lines. It's wonderful to see it sitting amongst the modern cityscape as a testament to the history of the local area.Written 28 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Nice to watch the trotter horses in training in the morning.
Food & coffee 5minutes away.

On a recent business trip my co-worker and I were walking to grab a bite to eat when I stopped to admire the building. My co-worker is quite used to my random need to see everything... and he politely just puts up with my whims.
In March 1927 a meeting was held to formally establish “an ambulance transport service for Albury and district” and the town’s first motor ambulance arrived, “an old model Dodge” costing £100.
Several temporary ambulance station sites were used. Proposed permanent sites were the north-east corner of Billson Park and next to the CWA in Kiewa St. In 1934 a site on the north-east corner of Albury Hospital grounds became available.
The building was designed by Louis Harrison with a prominent curved balcony in the ‘Federation Art Nouveau’ style. Mayor Alf Waugh laid the foundation stone in August 1934 and Mrs Waugh opened the station in December. The original building provided ground floor access to Dean St for two vehicles.Written 30 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The River is meant to reflect Albury as a modern arts and cultural city. It's angular geometric form draws on the architecture and cafe culture on Dean Street. The Murray River rives through the work.
The Sculptor of this work was Ken Raff who lives in Wodonga. Born in Gippsland Victoria in 1948, Ken Raff spent his teenage years by the seaside in Beaumaris Melbourne. Raff has exhibited extensively throughout Victoria and has held solo and group exhibitions in Melbourne, Canberra, Albury/Wodonga, Wangaratta, and Beechworth.
I have to admit that I stood there for some time with a co-worker trying to define why this is called the river... in the end I surmised that perhaps it was an individual dipping his head into the river. Still, it's interesting to stand and ponder how it fits into it's surroundings.Written 14 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
