Hume and Hovell Walking Track Yass to Albury

The Hume and Hovell Walking Track covers over 440 kilometres. All walking tracks are signposted providing opportunities for numerous day walks or extended walks taking 25 days over its entire length. The track starts at Cooma Cottage Yass and follows as closely the route followed by Hamilton Hume and William Hovell in the spring and summer of 1824-1825. The route traverses a variety of topography, vegetation and land use, as well as numerous points of historic interest.
