Please abide by any state, federal or MVB COVID-19 health requirements.

A good Albury walk that will take in parts of Hovell Tree Park, Padman/Mates Park, Monument Hill, Nail Can Hill (Farrar Trail, Tree Frog Trail, Tim's Trail), Boynton Park, Patricia Gould Trail, Kremur St track and a hidden track above the Murray River.

The walk is mostly flat but has 2 short ascents from the river to the Monument and similar descents. Height gain/loss of about 100m. You will see the damage done by a recent grass fire on Monument Hill and the good work achieved by the fire fighters.

Bring a morning tea snack. Coffee and cake afterwards for those interested.

Dogs OK. Toilets available at Monument Hill, West Albury oval, Kremur St boatramp and Hovell Tree Park.
