 In 2007 Albury LibraryMuseum opened. Albury is a centrally located service centre on the NSW/Victoria border. The area is a railway, road transportation and tourism hub. The LibraryMuseum is an integrated community facility which was designed by Ashton Raggett McDougal architects. Aspects of the design were a bit controversial when built. This was an ultra-modern building in the heritage flavoured CBD which had somewhat resisted architectural change to that point. The “X” façade at the Kiewa Street entrance is strikingly modern. Colours used in the building reflect colours in the local environment. In 2007 Albury LibraryMuseum opened. Albury is a centrally located service centre on the NSW/Victoria border.

 This is a social enterprise with lots of community partnerships. There were advisory group meetings in the beginning. Two members trained in organic farming methods. The farm started from scratch. Few tools, few resources. Partnerships essential to developing concept. Funds from other defunct agencies were donated and this greatly helped. The farm aims to preserve traditional farming methods and skills, connection to the land to promote health and wellbeing of Bhutanese community and local community members. Modern farming methods are also adopted to enhance employment skills. The Farm produces and supplies fresh vegetables to local businesses. There is a training and educational program. Workshops are held into organic food preparation and cooking. The farm provides employment opportunities for migrant and refugee community who have minimal English. Infrastructure has been developed through donations and grants. Contact info@parklands-alburywodonga.org.au This is a social enterprise with lots of community partnerships.

 The Uiver a KLM airlines DC-2 airplane became famous when, as a passenger-carrying participant in the 1934 London to Melbourne Air Race, it was involved in an extraordinary emergency landing at Albury. Forced to land at night, the Albury community lit the airfield for the Uiver with numerous car headlights. The Uiver landed safely, and the story was known around the World. Owing to the original Albury landing a strong and enduring bond grew between Holland and Albury. Unfortunately, the original plane crashed in the area around what is now Modern Syria a year later. The Uiver a KLM airlines DC-2 airplane became famous when, as a passenger-carrying participant in the 1934 London to Melbourne Air Race, it was involved in an extraordinary emergency landing at Albury.
