Wagga Wagga is the biggest inland City in NSW . The two military bases and Charles Sturt University are big contributors to the Economy . Wagga is established on the Murrumbidgee River and part of an area called the Riverina
The Sydney Melbourne Railway line runs through Wagga which is half way between both cities . A feeder line also head further west from here making this an ideal location for industries to establish . The Hume highway between Sydney and Melbourne is a further 30 Km to the east
Most of Australia is experiencing a 7 year drought. Recent rains in June have encouraged farmers to sow crops of Wheat and Oates. I have visited a farm further out west while shearing and calving is in progress. The land looks a picture at present with green lush paddocks and new lambs and calves being born. It wonderful to see the young calves, fearless and full of fun, in the spring heat of the day. Let hope for more rain that will fill the dams and replenish the rivers and streams
Im in Wagga Wagga for another 6 weeks before heading back to New Zealand.
I wonder what will happen next !!
