Around 28km's to the west of Albury or approximately 20 minutes out, this thriving town is located around the Murray River. The township is expanding with new land estates for sale, house and land packages or established properties to buy.

Howlong, or "Oolong" in Indigenous naming, lies on the border between New South Wales and Victoria.

Tourists come to Howlong for the fishing and water sports the Murray River provides and after a good catch or water ski visitors can easily drive to the local wineries of Rutherglen and North East Victoria.
Visitors to Howlong have several choices of accommodation ranging from caravan parks, hotels, rooming houses ("Bed and Breakfast") and the Golf Club Motel.

Howlong has abundant sporting facilities like the football oval, tennis courts, netball courts, the pony club, the cricket club, children's playground, skate bowl, swimming pool, barbecue and picnic areas.

On your return from visiting Howlong you will gain great amusement from the question:

"Where did you go?"
"Howlong"
"No, I asked where???"
