The Aboriginal Families Resettlement Scheme  moved people from all over into a MixedMob community.

An ealry colonial trading centre, Albury became a hub for policing, banking services, trade and freight, customs and education. Albury Wodonga has grown into one of Australia's largest regional cities.
