Sightseeing
the fast flowing Murrumbidgee winds through Wagga Wagga and has been the source of several Floods in the 180 year life of this city.
it's iconic beach is home to leafy Eucalyptus and Willow trees under which relaxed times can be spent. In the summer, every fourth Friday of the months, the city hosts Fork n Pork and Markets at the Wagga Beach.
in February the traditional and famous Gumi Race is run where participants float down the river on hand made rafts of inner tubes and crazy antics are sure to be seen between rafts vying for the finish line. although that aim doesn't always seem obvious as it is more fun to stay on the river and sabotage the opponents with water fights. a must see.
