Wagga Wagga - 20th November

After a month in Geelong visiting family and introducing ourselves to our new grand daughter, we are now travelling northwards and homeward bound. Wagga Wagga is one of our regular stopping places on our many treks to and from Victoria. This is the first time we have stopped over for more than an overnight stay.

Wilks Park, a free camp area alongside the Murrumbidgee River and adjacent to the central city area. As this is a flood plain one must be prepared for q quick evacuation if the river rises rapidly.

The Murrumbidgee River in the Wagga Wagga CBD, with a sandy beach. The river flows strong and fast past this point so it is not a place for weak swimmers.

The Wagga Wagga Railway Station is still in use with rail connections to Melbourne and Sydney

The station platform is beautiful old style architecture and very clean and well maintained. A train is due in very few minutes.
