Wagga Wagga: Sturt Highway
Built around a crossing of the Murrumbidgee River, Wagga Wagga grew into the Riverina’s principal regional city. The Sturt Highway is a major east–west route through southern New South Wales, carrying traffic across Wagga Wagga and linking the city with the Hume Highway near Gundagai and towns towards the South Australian border. Within the city it forms a busy urban corridor, where broad junctions, shops and low-rise residential streets reflect Wagga’s role as a service centre for the surrounding farming district. Its name comes from the Wiradjuri language; the repeated word is commonly understood to mean “place of many crows”. The Murrumbidgee and its riverside parklands remain central to the city’s setting.
