First, the thing people get wrong

Lavington is Albury's largest suburb and its trade counter belt, with Wagga Road running north to the Hume and Urana Road cutting west. Most of the north side buys tyres, timber and plumbing supplies here rather than driving into the city. It has its own shopping centre, a large sports club on Urana Road and a greyhound track.

Lavington is in New South Wales, postcode 2641, and far enough from the Murray that the border rules rarely come up. If you do hire somebody from the Victorian side, the licence check opens the right register.

The shape of the place

Lavington runs on Albury for anything it does not have itself, and the drive is about 4 kilometres. These are the facts that decide who you ring and where you go, rather than the ones a tourism page leads with.
