At Our Doorstep

Wagga is the hub of the Riverina – bound by Griffith to the west; gold mining towns Tumut and Adelong and the Snowy Mountains to the southeast, Canberra to the east and centrally located between Melbourne and Sydney, which are only one hours flight away.  The Riverina is rich with history, culture, nature and outdoor adventure, translating into bushwalking trails, wineries and ski fields, all at our doorstep.

Here in Wagga you can stroll along the Murrumbidgee River, water ski on Lake Albert, walk or ride along bike paths, or take time out to smell the roses at our award winning Botanic Gardens and parks that feature heavily in the city landscape – its your choice!

Lake Albert has everything for the water enthusiast: sailing, water skiing, fishing, speed boating and plays host to the perfect Sunday afternoon picnic with the family.

The Murrumbidgee River meanders through the city and is the lifeblood of agriculture in the region.  Take a sunset river cruise while sipping a glass of bubbly or a beer,  cool off with a swim over summer, enjoy a barby on the river bank or kayak along the river enjoying the serenity along the way.

Wagga’s beautiful parks and gardens are the perfect backdrop for a family barbeque, game of footy or ice-cream.   An award winning tourist attraction, the Botanic Gardens offers many different gardens, a miniature ride-on train, zoo, restaurant, music bowl, fitness trail and picnic facilities. 
Wagga's federation Ampitheatre and surrounding sculpture gardens confirm Wollundry Lagoon as the city's heart. Follow the path to the Victory Memorial Gardens designed by Sir Thomas Kerr, designer of Sydney Botanic Gardens.
Wine plays a significant role in the Riverina with over 40 wineries throughout Wagga and Griffith.   Enjoy a full bodied red grown in the rich loamy soils, visit the award winning winery and cheese factory at Charles Sturt University or pop over to Griffith, the largest wine growing region in NSW.  Brands such as De Bortili, Casella, Bidgebong, McWilliams and more dominate the region.

The potential for weekend activities and getaways are limitless! It’s your life, so make the call for a better lifestyle…
