I came to Wagga Wagga, Australia because I just couldn't resist visiting here. The name is just to funny.
Did you know...
Wagga Wagga was flooded in 1974 when the Murrumbidgee River reached a mammoth height of 10.74 metres. It was the highest recorded level in the 20th Century
In the Wiradjuri language, “Murrumbidgee” means “Plenty water” or “Big water”
Captain Charles Sturt first charted the waters of the Murrumbidgee River in 1829. His name can bee seen throughout the City.
The Kapooka Military Base opened in 1941 as the Royal Australian Engineers Training Centre
The Chiko Roll made its first appearance at the Wagga Wagga Show in 1951. It was inspired by the Chinese spring roll and was designed to be eaten with one hand whilst drinking a beer with the other.
