The remains of Australia's most notorious bushranger were finally buried in the Greta cemetery, closeby his infamous last stand with police in Glenrowan.

His coffin was interred near the unmarked grave of his mother, Ellen, with his brother Dan and fellow Kelly gang member Steve Hart also buried in the Greta cemetery.

Members of the public were asked to stay outside a marquee erected for the occasion so family members could complete the service in private and followed a funeral service at St Patrick's Catholic Church in Wangaratta.

Monsignor John White led the service and declared the occasion "a most significant and historical day in an old Australian story".

Monsignor White, who died a year later, was born in Jerilderie where Kelly had penned the 'Jerilderie Letter' in 1879.

Kelly's remains, minus his skull, were identified in 2011 after being transferred from Old Melbourne Gaol to Pentridge Prison.

The first train on the Wodonga rail bypass in March 2010 and completion of a $285 million sleeper repair job on the Albury-Melbourne line should have signalled a fresh beginning for the troubled track.

But delays and cancellations have continued to frustrate commuters for another 10 years.

Incoming Indi MP Cathy McGowan in 2013 optimistically predicted the problems would be "fixed by Christmas" with the state of the state of the track once again becoming a political football kicked around between the federal and state governments.

The soap area hit an all-time low in early 2018 when a replacement bus also broke down at Chiltern and passengers had to complete the rest of the trip from the North-East to Melbourne in maxi cabs.

An initial $100 million was allocated to the track by the federal government in 2017 before an extra $135 million was found a year later after concerns the initial investment would fall short of the standard to run upgraded VLocity trains on the line.

In late 2019, the track owners, the Australian Rail Track Corporation, announced John Holland would carry out the $235 million repair job with major works to begin early in 2020.

In 2018, the federal government also announced its route for the $100 billion Inland Rail freight project with Albury-Wodonga included.

Freight rail hubs already exist on both sides of the border at North Barnawartha and Ettamogah.

HE might have been wheel-chair bound, but there was no one more content when the $65 million Albury-Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre was officially opened in late 2016 than Eric Turner.

Mr Turner had spearheaded the community campaign which helped secure the federal funding for the project in 2011.

"I've saturated 10 napkins from bawling my eyes out because of what the community has done here," Mr Turner said on opening day.

The Labor federal government made the project reality with the funding announcement made in 2011 by regional development minister Simon Crean despite only a year earlier rejecting the proposal on the grounds it was too ambitious.

The facility providing radiotherapy, medical oncology and chemotherapy services to a catchment area of 300,000 people was built on the Albury hospital site.

The Albury-Wodonga community also rallied around another successful cause during the decade in securing a headspace centre to assist young people dealing with depression, substance abuse and other mental health issues.

The federal funding for the project was announced in 2013 and followed the launch of The Border Mail's Ending the Suicide Silence series which began a year earlier.

More than 4000 signed butterflies and a petition with close to 2000 signatures were presented to the federal government by The Border Mail and former Albury mayor Stuart Baker.

The Baker family lost their 15-year-old daughter Mary to suicide in 2011 and bravely were at the forefront of the campaign for a headspace centre.

The facility opened in Wodonga in 2015.

Other public major infrastructure projects to open in Albury-Wodonga during the decade were the Murray Art Museum Albury in 2015 when the century old townhall building in Dean Street became part of a $10.5 million makeover.

In Wodonga, The Cube entertainment centre opened in 2013 as did the WAVES outdoor swimming pool which complex which replaced the much-loved Stanley Street pool which opened in 1959 and was shut in 2012.

NOT since the 1970s has one club had a stranglehold on Ovens and Murray Football League premierships for a sustained period like the Albury Tigers.

The Tiger domination ominously began in 2009 when they romped in, but by the decade's end they had added six more flags with the club twice completing premiership hat-tricks only to be halted in their pursuit of a record equalling fourth title.

Albury's blueprint for success was a star-studded top-end of players including Chris Hyde, Joel Mackie, Shaun Daly, Dean Polo, Andrew Carey, Brayden O'Hara, Setanta O'hAilpin and Josh Mellington.

The Tigers' premiership haul could have easily increased had Yarrawonga not decided to take on the club which had inflicted three successive defeats on it from 2009.

Dual Coleman medallist Brendan Fevola was wooed to the club at a time when his AFL career had hit the skids, but his impact on the Pigeons and O and M was profound.

His presence alone was a major contributing factor in reviving interest in the O and M for the period between 2012 to 2016 when the Pigeons won back-to-back flags in 2012-13 and pushed the Tigers to the limit in 2014 grand final.

Fevola was the ultimate big match performer, kicking 15 goals in three grand final appearances and multiple double figure bags.

But among his many unforgettable displays came in the 2012 second semi-final when he helped the Pigeons back from the brink of certain defeat against Wangaratta Rovers.

The Hawks had a chance to grab the lead back after the siren, but the set shot from close range by another former AFL player Barry Hall was pushed wide.

There was no re-match in the grand final with the Hawks beaten in the preliminary final by Albury.

But as the decade dragged on, the O and M became horribly lopsided again and calls for those in charge to introduce some form of equalisation became louder and impossible to ignore with the player points system and another shot at a salary cap eventually introduced.

MULWALA residents awoke to scenes of mass destruction in March 2013 when a super cell of thunderstorms produced a tornado at speeds of between 250 and 300 km/h and 200 metres in width.

The tourist town bore the brunt of the tornado, but parts of nearby Yarrawonga, Bundalong, Rutherglen, Koonoomoo and Cobram were also in its path.

Twenty people were injured, including two men in their 50s who were flown to Melbourne hospitals in critical conditions with several houses destroyed and many others badly damaged.

The tornado hit about 8pm and the biggest carnage was inflicted on caravan parks in Mulwala including the Denison County park which took on a eerie similarity to what Darwin looked like in the aftermath of Cyclone Tracy in 1974.

Moira Shire mayor Brian Keenen described the event like an "atom bomb went off".

"How there wasn't lives lost is beyond me," he said.

Roofs were ripped from the top of holiday cabins, caravan walls were missing and metal twisted around what was left of massive gum trees.

Police shut the park fearing the danger from gas bottles, sheets of metal hanging in the trees and unstable vans and cabins.

One saving grace was the tornado didn't hit during the Easter holiday period when the park would have been filled with holidaymakers.

The clean-up start was delayed due to the discovery of asbestos with the violent winds spreading the deadly contaminant across the park.

Corowa Shire was given the go ahead to dig a hole the size of an Olympic swimming pool at Howlong tip to become the dumping ground for the majority of debris from the tornado.

Historic Tarramia homestead and surrounding cottages between Mulwala and Corowa was also badly damaged before being repaired in the lead-up to the entire property being sold in 2018 for more than $10 million.

On the same day the tornado's full impact came to light one of the biggest controversies in the Albury Gold Cup's history unfolded.

Fabriano, the only runner Benalla trainer Peter Donnelly had entered on the day, became the first horse to lose the cup on protest in the race's 132-year history.
