Default Who Lives in or near Wagga?

Hey all, just wondering how many people live in the riverina or around it.

Cheers Matt.

Two reasons.

1. Curiosity, wanted to know how many Forum members were near Wagga.
2. Wondering if anyone went on cruises or meets reguarly or would ever want to. (like the a lot of people did too the AFD the other day)

Live about 35 mins south of wodonga (towards fall's creek) but dad owns another farm north of jindera and lease 2 others, one between albury and corowa and one between jindera and corowa, so i guess you could say we live in the riverina

The lake is right down the end of our St. Most (90%) of the crap got cleaned up, but the recent downpours caught them by surprise so there is a bit of flotsam out there, after all they only had a year or two of drought to work out what to do.

But then what did you expect from a mob that puts slippery tiles in a swimming centre?

What do you miss, the dust or the fact that drugs have to be imported instead of home grown

Spent a lot of time in Wagga courtesy of the RAAF. What's the name of the Main Street? (Bayliss maybe) Talk about one of the best Hoon/Cruising Streets in country Australia, there was always something happening. Still the same??

My wife is from Griffith and there is not "lots of Mafia there" There are however lots Citrus and grape growers with terrific security systems around and on their properties.
And before you ask, NO she is not Italian
