Albury-Wodonga campus

Make a weekend of it in Albury-Wodonga

Fresh air, open spaces

Our Albury-Wodonga campus in leafy Thurgoona was designed with sustainability in mind. Its buildings feature many environmentally sensitive features and the campus is home to ecologically significant wetlands, making it the perfect place to study environmental science. The small and friendly campus environment means you’ll feel part of a close-knit community of like-minded students and staff.

The campus is adjacent to a large supermarket, chemist, doctor's surgery and other shops, and there's a gym, golf course, tennis and other sporting facilities nearby.

Parklands and walking/cycling trails are everywhere, and Thurgoona is just 10 minutes by car from Albury CBD.

Living in Albury-Wodonga

Charles Sturt in Albury-Wodonga offers the perfect mix of urban convenience and country charm, all set against stunning natural scenery for a truly unique experience.

Keen to get a bit of exercise in nature? Be sure to visit the Albury Botanical Gardens or the Murray River Walk for stunning natural scenery. Or take a walk around Sumsion Gardens, which house the beautiful Belvoir Park Lake in the heart of Wodonga. The Wagirra Trail and Yindyamarra Sculpture Walk are two other fantastic options for a stroll, featuring a series of contemporary First Nations sculptures along the way. Or why not take a visit to Hume Dam – one of the world’s largest!

Albury-Wodonga is just a short drive away from a number of bustling regional hotspots. Be sure to check out the beautiful valleys and snow-capped peaks of Beechworth and Bright – two of Australia’s finest historic towns. Not to mention, the Rutherglen Wine Region is practically next-door – and a tour through their numerous cellar doors is a must!

Art fans will be impressed with the Murray Art Museum’s collection and frequent exhibitions. Albury-Wodonga also has a vibrant theatre scene, with several local theatre companies and plenty of shows to keep you entertained.

Foodies will love the River Deck Café, located (you guessed it!) on the banks of the Murray River. Albury-Wodonga is home to a vibrant nightlife – visit Albury Brewhouse for the region’s finest craft beer and Two Fingers Bar for an excellent whisky (or 6am espresso). Speaking of coffee, you’ll find some of the best at Ploughman's, As Thick As Thieves and Willow and Co Coffee Shop.
