Getting the Best Free Map
by chanac
The best free map of Wagga Wagga is the one that is sponsored by Thrifty. Printed on a greenish background (see picture), this fold out map is the best. But the earlier map also sponsored by Thrifty (the one with a yellow background) has excellent print. The one sold by the WaggaWagga Information Centre (for $1) is the worst. The print is far too small for reading even with glasses. You will only need a map if you are going around the suburbs looking for property or someone's home. If you are just a tourist passing by, all you need is just the general map of Wagga in the guide book which is fairly detailed.
The main street of Wagga...
by CandS
This is Baylis Street...the main street of Wagga where you will find most of the shops. Baylis Street mostly has retail shops, cafes, department stores, restaurants etc.
Baylis Street turns into Fitzmaurice Street at the northern end but that end of town is not as busy as Baylis Street...except maybe after dark when the pubs come alive... Fitzmaurice Street is home to mostly businesses like accountants, computer stores, pubs, farm supplies, service stations, produce, furniture etc.
Museum of the Riverina
by CandS

Wagga Song
by CandS
DON'T CALL WAGGA WAGGA WAGGA...*
Now I know Ted Egan's been around, true expert that he is
A lotta folks they know their outback well, and Ted he sure knows his
I know those towns with funny names, the ones that make you laugh
And when it comes to the double names, I say "You don't do things by half, that's right!"
You don't call Kurri Kurri Kurri
You don't call Gin Gin Gin
You don't call Mooney Mooney Mooney
And you don't call Kin Kin Kin
Never call Pindi Pindi Pindi
And don't call Grong Grong Grong
And don't call Wagga Wagga Wagga, no sir
Callin' Wagga Wagga Wagga is wrong
It's Lang Lang and its Ki Ki, Wangi Wangi and Woy Woy
And if you call Tumbi Umbi Tumbi, well that proves you're a silly boy
Cocklebiddy isn't Cockle, Duckinwilla isn't Duck
Burpengary isn't Burpen, and Muckadilla isn't Muck
Uranqunity isn't Uran, and Petrie isn't Pee
You'd look pretty silly callin' Lilli Pilli Lilli, and Wee Waa isn't Wee, and
You don't call Walla Walla Walla
You don't call Curl Curl Curl
You don't call Mitta Mitta Mitta
And you don't call Wool Wool Wool
Never call Pura Pura Pura
And don't call Bong Bong Bong
And don't call Wagga Wagga Wagga, no sir
Callin' Wagga Wagga Wagga is wrong
It's Terrigal not Terry, Stanthorpe isn't Stan
Petersborough isn't Peter, Dandaragan isn't Dan
Kenebri's not Kenny, Jackadgery isn't Jack
Never ever call Jimboomba Jim and Macksville isn't Mack
So now you'll all remember, Ted Egan's good advice
Some words are so fair dinkum that you have to use 'em twice
