Wagga Artists "Art on the Levee"

I came upon a magical setting on the banks of the Murrumbidgee - a group of artists who exhibit once a month beside the river. They have been provided with a wonderful weatherproof hanging space which was full of great paintings and as I wandered around enjoying the art, the artists sat and chatted in a creative ring under the huge Murray gum. It was such an inspiring scene I wanted to move to Wagga immediately and join their group. Fresh air, sunshine and creative spirits made my heart soar.

Wagga Farmers Market a true farmer's market

Nothing is is more exciting than finding a farmers market on the weekend you are in town. Wagga Wagga has a beauty the second Saturday of the month - with real farmers selling their produce! Potato growers, cheese maker dairy farmers and olive growers pressing oil and pickling gorgeous olives of many varieties. The setting is by the lagoon on a wonderful grassed area surrounded by Wagga's rich art precinct and along with live music and eating areas, you have a foodies paradise!
