As you approach St Michael's Cathedral, Wagga Wagga, look for a stunning sandstone building with a classic Gothic Revival style. You'll notice its tall, pointed arches and detailed stone masonry. The cathedral's impressive slate roof and prominent tower with delicate pinnacles are unmistakable. If you're walking along Johnston Street, you can spot the cathedral's grand entrance porch with its intricate stonework and beautiful stained glass windows. Now, let’s dive into the history of this magnificent cathedral! St Michael's Cathedral is not just a pretty face - it’s the heart of the Diocese of Wagga Wagga and the seat of the Catholic Bishop. The tale begins in the mid-19th century when the first churches popped up in Wagga Wagga. The original St Michael’s Church was a modest structure built in the late 1850s, with its foundation stone laid by Reverend Michael McAlroy. Flash forward to the 1870s: Wagga finally got a resident priest, and by 1883 Father Patrick Dunne was revamping the church for the area’s growing Catholic population. Designs by Melbourne architects Tuppin, Gilbert, and Dennihey brought the church to life by 1887. However, it wasn’t until 1917 that Vatican intervention elevated the church to a diocesan cathedral, with Bishop Joseph Wilfrid Dwyer pushing for major renovations. The additions included transepts, chapels, a new sanctuary, and a grand tower. Stonemasons from Parramatta and materials from across the state helped complete the stunning structure you see today. The cathedral was finally opened and blessed on 22 March 1925, an occasion graced by an impressive roster of archbishops and bishops from around the country. It's been standing tall ever since, a testament to the rich history and faith of Wagga Wagga. So, take a minute to admire its beauty and think about the incredible journey this cathedral has had from its humble beginnings to the majestic building in front of you. Amazing, right?

As you walk along, keep your eyes peeled to the right; you'll soon spot a single-story white brick building with a brown-tiled gable roof. There is a large sign right out front that clearly reads "ABC Riverina" with the iconic ABC logo - it’s pretty hard to miss! There's also a colorful painted rock in the small garden right by the entrance. Welcome to ABC Riverina! This local radio station is broadcast magic in action, serving the regions of Riverina and Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area, including towns like Griffith, Leeton, and Hay. It all started way back in 1931, under the humble call sign 2CO in Albury, covering south-west New South Wales and north-east Victoria. Back in the day, this station sent its signals from an AM mast on the edge of Corowa. Initially, Wagga Wagga just got a bit of the action when the signal reached here. But in 1987, it got its own piece of the radio pie with new studios and transmitters! The station then split into two, with 2CO serving the Riverina and the Albury-based station moving to Wodonga. Now, don't worry if you need a nerd fix. The original transmitter for 2CO was quite the contraption - a Sydney-made STC 6.5/7 kW, no less, cooling its hot triodes with water just to keep things from melting down! Nowadays, you can catch ABC Riverina at 675 AM or 89.9, 100.5, and 102.7 FM. And during the footy seasons, it goes full sports buff, splitting broadcasts between AFL on the main transmitter and NRL or Super Rugby on the FM repeaters - a nifty solution for an area divided by the Barassi Line. Tune in and enjoy the sounds of Riverina's past and present!

As you approach the roundabout to your left, you should see a mid-sized building with some large windows adorned with white and blue signage. This is the home of The Daily Advertiser! Look for the entrance that typically has clear labeling and may showcase some of the most recent editions of the newspaper inside. Newspaper logos will be prominently displayed, giving it a rather professional and rooted appearance in the community. The Daily Advertiser is the regional newspaper serving Wagga Wagga and the surrounding areas. Here's a little fun tidbit for you: it first started back in 1868 under the name The Wagga Wagga Advertiser, founded by a couple of wealthy pastoralists. That's right, in those days, they weren't just breaking news-they were breaking new ground! Originally, this newspaper hit the stands bi-weekly and was a hefty broadsheet. Over the years, it has transformed into a trusty daily, except on weekends when it becomes The Weekend Advertiser. It's quite an elder statesman among regional papers in Australia, one of the oldest, in fact! Fast forward to today, and this publication reaches about 31,000 people from Monday to Friday. That’s a whopping 85% of everyone over 14 in its main coverage area! A highlight from its illustrious past: on 11 November 1918, a special edition announced the end of World War I, making sure the citizens of Wagga Wagga were among the first to hear the news! And just a bit of newspaper trivia: from 1991 to 2002, its editor was Michael McCormack, who went on to become the Deputy Prime Minister of Australia. Quite a journey from newsroom to the nation's capital! So, there you have it! This building holds more than just paper; it harbors tales of history, community impact, and a robust journalistic tradition. What a spot!

As you're approaching the Victory Memorial Gardens, look to your left for an impressive stone archway. It's quite monumental, literally! This imposing arch is flanked by large engraved plaques, commemorating those who served and sacrificed in the First World War. Behind the arch, you'll see lush greenery and vibrant flowers. The arch itself is beautifully set amidst purple-flowered trees, making it hard to miss. Alright, now that you've found it, let's dive into the story of this beautiful place! The Victory Memorial Gardens are perched serenely on the banks of the Wollundry Lagoon right in the heart of Wagga Wagga. Believe it or not, this 5-acre patch of tranquility used to be where the Old Police Barracks and all the police horses were kept. Fast-forward to February 1931, and voila! It became public land. But let's rewind a bit to 1925 when the local Council wanted to pay tribute to those brave souls who fought in the First World War. The initial plan was for a memorial hall, but the public had a greener vision - gardens. And thus, a competition was born. The winning design came from Thomas Kerr, the chief landscape gardener of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney. By 1928, the gardens were a work in progress. In the mid-war years, there was talk about building a Memorial Arch to honor volunteer soldiers. This idea finally took shape in 1925, and by Anzac Day in 1927, the Victory Memorial Gardens Arch stood tall, costing about £1700. Major-General C. F. Cox did the honors of unveiling it amid great celebrations. Oh, and don't miss the cenotaph that had been standing there since 1922. In 2006, the gardens got a new addition - the restored Chisholm Fountain, just in time for Anzac Day commemorations. So, as you stroll through, take a moment to appreciate these layers of history and beauty. Enjoy your walk through this living memorial!

So, while you're enjoying this stroll, know that you're about to enter a realm that's a real glass act, reflecting over four decades of extraordinary art! Keep your eyes peeled, and let’s continue our sparkling journey.

You’re almost at stop number 6, the bustling Wagga Wagga Marketplace! Look to your left, and you’ll spot it with no trouble. You’ll recognize it by the prominent white buildings with large signs for Woolworths and Big W, which are anchor tenants, flanking the entrance. That tall clock tower with the colorful compass logo marked "Wagga Wagga Marketplace" is a dead giveaway-you can't miss it! Now, let's talk about this landmark. Wagga Wagga Marketplace is not just any shopping center; it’s a hub of activity located right in the heart of Wagga’s CBD. The main entrance is on Baylis Street, but you can also enter from Forsyth Street, Morgan Street, and the underground carpark if you're coming from a different direction. The Marketplace has a bit of everything with Woolworths, Big W, and Australia Post serving as the primary anchor tenants, alongside over 60 specialty stores. So, whether you’re here for a quick grocery run, some retail therapy, or just to grab a coffee, you’re covered. Originally constructed by Woolworths Limited, this shopping haven was acquired by Industry Superannuation Property Trust in July 1997. It got a fresh coat of paint and new signage in 2006, and in 2012, it expanded to become even more shopper-friendly, adding sixteen more stores and extending the car park. So, it’s safe to say that Wagga Wagga Marketplace has continued to grow and evolve, ensuring it meets the needs of every visitor. Feel free to dive in and explore! Who knows what treasure or tasty treat you might find around the next corner?

As you approach the last stop on our tour, the glorious Wagga Wagga railway station will be on your left. Look for a long, low building with a light yellow and orange facade. The roof is white with several prominent chimneys, which might remind you of something straight out of a charming old movie. Ornate trim on the verandas adds a delicate touch to its sturdy appearance. You’ll know you’re in the right place when you see the intricate ironwork and symmetric, welcoming archways. Now, let me tell you about this landmark in a fun way: Welcome to the Wagga Wagga railway station, a bustling stop on the Main Southern line that connects Sydney and Melbourne. This isn’t just any old station-oh no! It’s a heritage-listed gem, truly a head-turner with its historical and architectural flair. This station opened back in 1879, originally called "South Wagga Wagga," but luckily for our breath, it was renamed simply "Wagga Wagga" in 1882. And guess what else? It once served as a terminus until the line continued on to Gerogery in 1880. Here, trains come and go, just like in the good old days. As of 2021, Wagga Wagga gets two daily passenger trains heading in both directions. Plus, there’s a museum on the premises for all you history buffs. Designed by none other than notable engineer John Whitton, the station building is a first-class brick structure, and the station master's residence is just as significant. If you’re feeling peckish for some railway grub, you’d be glad to know that a refreshment room was added in 1917 for those long journeys south to Albury. Also, in 1936, a footbridge was built to make crossing easier - no more leaping over tracks! Once upon a time, the station yard was a hive of activity with turntables, cranes, and sidings galore, but now it’s a serene spot, only with a passing loop and a short standby loop for company. As you stand here, take a moment to appreciate that you’re looking at a unique piece of Wagga Wagga’s civic heritage. It’s like turning back the hands of time, with trains still chugging through today, connecting this city to the bustling metropolises of Sydney and Melbourne. Enjoy the rest of your adventure!
