Wagga Wagga NSW

As we made our way cross country from Swan Hill to Wagga Wagga we rolled through a few regional towns that were new to us.

At Deniliquin we stopped for fuel at a classic 1950s style servo diner that felt like stepping back in time. We also chanced Josh’s Bakehouse which naturally we had to stop for pies and thick shakes. Good job Josh, my pie was great!

Moving on through Jerrilderie and Lockhart we arrived at Wagga Wagga by early afternoon, where we checked in at Horseshoe Tourist Park in Cartwright Hill after discovering the Big 4 was fully booked. It’s a worthy overnight stop - nothing fancy, but simple, clean and doing the job. We’ve got a spacious drive-through site, while Dan and Helen managed to score the only ensuite site. We're just opposite and about as close as you can get to the main amenities so everyone’s winning 👍

We spent the afternoon swimming in the Murrumbidgee River at Wagga Wagga City Beach where it was noticeably colder than the Murray River and much faster flowing as well. It would’ve been the perfect spot to have brought the float lounges!

Ironically, after making our way back into NSW after almost three weeks, we ended the day with dinner at the Victorian Hotel on the main street of Wagga Wagga. The steaks and red wine were great, but the schnittys not so much. Still, it was a lovely way to finish off our last night on the road.Read more
