Tallangatta is a town near the inflows to Lake Hume in Victoria.
Tallangatta is not pronounced like Coolangatta, rather tal-LAN-gadda. The town itself was rebuilt on the current site, when the old town was flooded by the building of the Hume Dam. Some remnants of the old town can sometimes be seen in the nearby lake when the water is very low.
The Murray Valley Highway (B400) passes through the town, heading east from Albury-Wodonga. An interesting variation from the north is get the Wymah ferry across the Murray. Check running times and water levels before attempting this though, otherwise the deviation is long when you get there.
There are daily weekday bus connections between Tallangatta and Albury-Wodonga.
The High Country Rail Trail provides a off-road connection from Albury-Wodonga through to Talangatta by bike. Bikes can be taken on the trains from Sydney and Melbourne to Albury (you must reserve a place on the train).
The town has a few choices of cafes, take-aways, pizza and informal dining restaurants. It has a nice park in the centre with picnic tables, etc. The pub bistro is open for dinner 7 nights.
