Corryong is a town in Victoria, Australia 120 kilometres (75 mi) east of Albury-Wodonga, near the upper reaches of the Murray River and close to the New South Wales border.

Corryong is also home to the Australian Institute of Flexible Learning (AIFL) which offers 100% online education to all of Australia.

Its location makes it the Victorian gateway to the New South Wales snowfields, including the Thredbo ski village, and the Snowy Mountains Scheme.

The forestry industries include both the harvesting of native eucalypts and of the extensive pine plantations in the area, which extend along a general high-rainfall zone from Tumbarumba in the northeast to Shelley in the southwest.

Corryong has a borderline oceanic / humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfb / Cfa) with warm to hot, dry summers that are chilly by morning and cool, wet winters with persistent cloud cover.

The Corryong Recreation Reserve was the home of the Grandstand, known as "The Grand Old Lady" to some locals in the Upper Murray community.

We trust that the year of 1907 will commence a new era of prosperity for all the local institutions, and that they will continue to work amicably together, for co-operation in these matters lighten the burden on the general public - and that in a small community like ours, is a most important consideration.Many years passed since the Grandstand was opened before the Corryong Racing Club left, leaving the A&P Society with sole ownership of the grandstand.

[9] After public backlash from the Upper Murray community the Facebook page "Corryong Grandstand - Stand By Me" was established on 29 September 2014 and a petition started on Change.Org.

After gathering submissions from members of the community, the group had a meeting with VCAT scheduled for 10 April 2015 in Melbourne, but was later rescheduled for 8 May 2015, in Wodonga.
