Hume and Hovell Track

The track crosses New South Wales between Yass and Albury, traversing a variety of topography, vegetation and land use. It follows in the footsteps of the explorers Hamilton Hume and William Hovell, who set off in October 1824 to find what lay south of the Murrumbidgee River. The northern section begins at Cooma Cottage and leads through rolling farmland and across the Murrumbidgee.
