If your stay at Wodonga Holiday Park includes some spare time, the Murray River and North East Victoria's wineries are both worth knowing about.

The Murray River has walking and cycling trails along it, a straightforward way to spend an hour or a full afternoon depending on your schedule — a reasonable option for stretching your legs after a long drive or between sessions at a sporting competition.

North East Victoria's wineries are a genuine drawcard if wine is more your interest — a good way to spend an afternoon, though better suited to a proper day off than something to squeeze in around work or a competition schedule.

For anyone breaking up a Hume Highway drive, the Murray River paths are the more achievable option for a spare hour — close, easy, and requiring no real planning beyond pulling in and taking a walk.

For sporting groups with downtime between fixtures, a walk along the river is a reasonable way for a team to unwind without much travel involved.

For families staying a few days, the wider Albury-Wodonga region has attractions across both sides of the border, so it's worth thinking of your stay as covering the whole area rather than just the Wodonga side specifically.

If you've got a full day free and wineries appeal, it's worth planning properly around it — checking cellar door opening hours and arranging transport if you're planning on tasting rather than just visiting for the scenery.

The takeaway: the Murray River is an easy, flexible option for any amount of spare time, while North East Victoria's wineries are worth a proper day off if that's your interest.
