and competing at one of the best Alpine flying site's in Australia, the mighty Mt
Elliot.

from Mt Kosciuszko the highest mountain in Australia where historically the very
first Australian Paragliding Nationals were hosted not far from here in Thredbo
1990.
Horse racing commenced at Towong in 1871 and to this day still remains one of the
districts most exciting and fun social events of the year.
The Towong Cup run on the Victorian labour day long weekend hosts around 2000 guests
who travel from near and far to soak up the atmosphere of true country racing. With
Victoria’s oldest free-standing grandstand, magnificent century-old elm trees and
sweeping views of the majestic Snowy Mountains, you could be forgiven for thinking
it still was 1871.

filming of the classic Aussie film, Phar Lap!

The Garden Getabout is held on the second weekend in November each year. Run over two
days, the weekend offers visitors the chance to view some beautiful open gardens in
Corryong and the wider Upper Murray region.
Gardens are not professionally designed, rather tended to and cared for by people
who love their gardens and take pride in what they have created in their front and
back yards. Some gardens come small, others medium or large, however all gardens
have something different on offer for visitors to see, whether it be a rare plant, a
design feature, a problem solved, or simply a surprise.
Garden owners are on hand during the day to answer any questions visitors have or
just have a chat about their passion for gardening.
A weekend pass can be purchased from the Corryong Neighbourhood Centre and will
allow you access to all of the gardens on display
