Corryong is located in the heart of the Snowy Mountains in North East Victoria; one of Australia's most pristine environments and an absolute dream fly-in location for Aviators. Soar the crystal blue skies and enjoy the many recreational pursuits of the pure end of the Murray River; canoeing, bird watching, fly fishing or simply sit and listen to whispers of the tall Snow and River Gums while enjoying a good book and regional wine. Drift away, relax and unwind in Corryong and the Upper Murray. It is a place for nature lovers, meeting friendly locals and getting back in touch with life and all its treasures. Photographers and painters will also be inspired as Mother Nature paints a broad canvas everyday. The morning sunrises over the mountains and sunsets over the river are magical moments to share , so bring a friend and enjoy these simple pleasures. Play a round of golf with the kangaroos at Khancoban or along the banks of the Murray River at Walwa where you will find resort-style accommodation to suit the most discerning traveller; a cottage overlooking the Murray and mountains, great swimming pools and tennis court. A rich history from the Indigenous people, to the mountain cattlemen, gold prospectors, foresters and farmers will intrigue and provide a valuable insight of how communities of the Upper Murray have prospered and choose to live a simple but wholesome lifestyle. Visit the Man from Snowy River Museum in Corryong and learn the tales of Jack Riley; the Man from Snowy River who inspired Banjo Patterson's legendary poem. Aviators will also enjoy the Southern Cloud Historic site near Tumbarumba. ![]() If you are seeking a little more adventure, take the opportunity to join Aviators from around Australia for the 2009 Premium High Country Experience Fly-in scheduled for Saturday the 21st of March.
