Albury and Thurgoona

Our Albury campus sits on 87 hectares of native bush and wetlands at Thurgoona. It offers unique and contemporary venues for your next event.

We are hospitality professionals - we pride ourselves on making sure every event is successful.

Receiving international attention for its environmentally sensitive design, the building combines natural ventilation and lighting with recycled plantation timbers to offer a distinctive and natural setting for your next event.

Beyond the campus, the city of Albury is rich with culture. It's also very close to the Murray River, Lake Hume and the snowfields.
