A picturesque, 15-kilometre return pathway that hugs the Murray River, the Wagirra Trail and Yindyamarra Sculpture Walk is like an open-air art gallery. Gently meandering by Wonga Wetlands, the South Albury Trail and Albury’s riverside parks, the route is peppered with recently installed sculptures by indigenous artists.

Walk, run, cycle

A 2m-wide walking and cycle path, the Wagirra Trail is a tranquil place to take a leisurely stroll, exhilarating run or scenic cycle ride. Connecting the two cities of Wodonga and Albury, this trail also acts as the perfect gateway to exploring both.

Pause for a picnic in one of Aldbury’s riverside parks under a shady tree while the Murray River flows by. Bike hire is available if you’re unable to transport your own using your EV. If you want to push your explorations further afield, the Wagirra Trail also adjoins to other routes; the Bungambrawatha Creek Trail, West Albury Trail, South Albury Trail and to the Albury–Thurgoona Trail.

Witness indigenous art and learn history

Occupying 5km of the Wagirra Trail between Kremur Street and Wonga Wetlands, the Yindyamarra Sculpture Walk is an extraordinary showcase of indigenous art. From giant carved wooden goannas to a vast bogong moth tree, each of the fifteen sculptures with it incredible stories that ignite conversation about indigenous customs, traditions, and history.

A giant reconciliation shield stands proudly, symbolising bringing people together, while a vast metal fishing trap represents the significance of the Murray River to Wiradjuri culture.

Each sculpture is accompanied by an interpretative panel and video which can be viewed on your smartphone. These will immerse you in the stories behind the art, connecting you deeper to indigenous Aboriginal history.
