Wagga Wagga

Wagga Wagga, the largest inland city in New South Wales, sits proudly on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River, halfway between Sydney and Melbourne. Its name comes from the Wiradjuri word "Wagga", meaning crow, and the repetition of the word signifies the plural – making it the “place of many crows”.

Known for its regional charm and urban convenience, Wagga delivers a lifestyle that’s both laid-back and well-connected. Residents enjoy direct flights and rail links to major cities, yet live among peaceful tree-lined streets and open green spaces. Whether you’re drawn by career opportunities at the RAAF Base, Kapooka Army Base or Charles Sturt University, or seeking a slower pace, Wagga has the foundations for long-term living.

Locals love the city’s foodie scene, with standout businesses like Meccanico Espresso + Wine, House of Fitzmaurice, The Oakroom, Borambola Wines and the local produce-driven Food I Am. For recreation and exercise, there’s Lake Albert, the Botanic Gardens, Wagga Beach, The Rock nature reserve and the popular Civic Theatre.

Housing is varied and caters to many life stages, from heritage Federation homes along Gurwood Street and Wollundry Avenue, to modern family residences and small-acreage lifestyle properties. Lakeside Drive offers prized lake frontage, while Fox Street puts you in the heart of Central Wagga.
