Wagga Wagga is one the largest inland towns in NSW and features some of the most magnificent parks and gardens in the state. The Wiradjuri walking track is a absorbing jaunt through bushland and gardens. At 30 kilometres in length, it can be broken down into smaller sections for a more relaxing stroll. Wagga Wagga is also known for the production of fine Australian wood furniture.
See the beauty of glass at the world class national Art Glass Gallery or meet some of Australia's sporting legends at the Sporting Hall of Fame. At the Wagga Botanic Garden, walk amongst the camellias, Chinese pavilion, tree chapel and mini zoo. Explore the vintage steam and oil engines display or swim and picnic on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River.
The surrounding area consists of properties dedicated to wheat-growing, dairying, mixed farming and fat lambs. It possesses one of the largest stockyards in Australia, as well as the Livestock Marketing Centre, which processes around 1.5 million sheep and 130 000 cattle annually. With the Charles Sturt University and the Riverina Institute of TAFE, Wagga is an important regional education centre and, with the Kapooka Army Recruit Training Base and a Royal Australian Air Force base, it is also regarded as one of the country's major defence force establishments.
