Experience Wagga Wagga

Visit Wagga Wagga, its the place where paths cross and people meet. It was that way with the Wiradjuri people as they travelled the region following the cycle of ceremonies and seasons. With major transport routes, easy access to large metropolitan areas, plenty of industry and a large education sector it remains that way today.

Population: 65,000

Traditional custodians: Wiradjuri nation

The name of the city is derived from the language of the Wiradjuri nation, which was the biggest Aboriginal tribe in New South Wales, embracing the Riverina area.

“Wagga”, “Wahga” or Wahgam” in Aboriginal dialect means “crow”. The repetition of a word was the method of expressing the plural or emphasis, thus Wagga Wagga means “crows” or “the place where crows assemble in large numbers”. The Murrumbidgee River which runs through the city also derived its name from the Aboriginal language and means “plenty water” or “big water”.
