@daicosisgod; courtesy of the Rudd Govt Albury-Wodonga is even serviced by an oncology unit these days - most of what's needed is delivered locally.
Despite puerile political games and imbecilic grandstanding by a precious 'few', the region is also on track to get a major upgrade to its hospital facilities - it'll be without peer between Melbourne and Sydney!
Now that the A-W Region has a proper train service people can easily and inexpensively make Melbourne a day trip.
