Walla Walla

Renowned for its German heritage and rich history in farming

Walla is less than a 30 minute drive north west of Albury. It has a rich history in farming and a major employer in Kotzur Silos. There is a good mix of residential homes for sale, lifestyle properties and farms. There are several new estates where you can buy land and build a new home.

The St Paul's College is renowned for their secondary schooling offering coeducation plus boarding facilities for the rural communities. 

Walla Walla, situated just 40 kilometres north of Albury is renowned for its German heritage whose settlers were amongst the first European settlers and many of their skills can still be seen today. The present Zion Lutheran Church, built in 1924 is the largest Lutheran Church in New South Wales, with seating for almost 600 people.

Standing close by is a replica of one of the German wagons that made the six week, 600 mile journey from the Barossa Valley in 1869, bringing 56 German farmers who settled throughout the area. A full history of the journey and those involved is included in the display.

Nearby is Morgan's Lookout, a massive white granite rock formation used by bushranger Dan Morgan as a lookout to evade police. Picnic and toilet facilities are provided at this idyllic location situated six kilometres north of Walla Walla.
