| Corowa | |
| Following
the river, it’s 56km from Albury northwest to COROWA, across the
Murray from Victoria’s Rutherglen wine region. Blue flags flying
all over town proclaim it to be the birthplace of Federation, since the
Federation Conference of 1893 was held at Corowa’s courthouse.
The Corowa Tourist Information Centre is in the cream-coloured former train station on John Street (Mon–Sat 9.45am–4.30pm; tel 02/6033 3221) and can give you information about river cruises on the MV Lynne Maree (Sat, Sun & holidays 10am–2pm; 1hr; $10; tel 02/6033 2846). |
|
| There
are stacks of motels in town offering very reasonable
accommodation, such as the Corowa Murray View at 193 River St, with
a swimming pool, spa and barbecues (some rooms have a private garden
courtyard).
Campers could try the Ball Park Caravan Park, by the Murray on Bridge Road, or the Lake Talbot Caravan Park. There are several places on the main street where you can get a meal, including the Star Hotel, which does a good-value roast of the day; the Royal Hotel, which serves up decent counter food; and the Old Corowa Bakehouse, a popular café/bakery that opens early. |
