INTRODUCTION WAGGA WAGGA

Wagga Wagga is one of Australia’s leading regional cities. Nestled on the banks of the magnificent Murrumbidgee River, the original inhabitants were the largest Aboriginal tribe in New South Wales, the Wiradjuri. It is from their language the city is named. Wagga means crow and repeating it means crows, hence a place of many crows. From these proud origins to the culturally rich community that exists today, Wagga Wagga has been considered a place for the young and young at heart, enjoying the exciting and yet relaxed lifestyle that exists within the city.

The geographical location of Wagga Wagga is ideal for keeping in touch with the trends that filter out of the major metropolitan cities of Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Wagga Wagga is the ideal base for exploring one of Australia’s emerging holiday destinations – the Riverina. An easy day trip in any direction can take you through the extremes of Australia’s natural and cultivated environment. To the east rises Mount Kosciuszko in the Snowy Mountains. To the west lies Griffith, the heart of New South Wales’ biggest wine producing region. An easy drive takes you to great Aussie towns like, Junee, Lockhart and Gundagai.

To put it simply, there is not much that you can’t do in and around Wagga Wagga. You can jet along in the “fast lane” or relax in the easy paced country atmosphere taking in the sights, sounds and serenity of rural Australia.

The following is just a selection of activities available in the Wagga Wagga region. For more information on “what to see and things to do”, the friendly staff at the Visitor Information Centre are waiting on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River to “tell you where to go” so to speak.

This month’s Shooting Trivia Question: One of the most sought after but difficult goals in ACTA Trapshooting is the winning of the National Double Barrel Championship. Similarly in ACTA Skeet shooting, one of the Holy Grails is the holding of the National Long Run Record. How many ACTA shooters have accomplished both these great feats? Mail your answer to Shoot- ing Trivia, P.O. Box 265, Bairnsdale 3875, to arrive by 20-02-2003. The first correct answer drawn shall receive a free entry to this year’s National Double Rise Championship. The correct answer to December’s STQ is: The only person to ever win the NSW State Double Barrel Championship back to back is Michael Diamond, who achieved this in 1992-93.
