Wagga is located on the Murrumbidgee River.
Wagga is 475 kilometres south-west of Melbourne. The city is on the Sturt Highway and not on the main Sydney-Melbourne Hume highway. The city is on the main Sydney-Melbourne railway line and is approximately half way between the two major cities.
The city of Wagga Wagga provides the central focus for a large catchment region of rural New South Wales and is the centre of administration for the Riverina region.
The Murrumbidgee River has not been visible to the town since the introduction of high levee banks to prevent flood damage. The Wollundry Lagoon is the water focus of the town and has been a key element in the development and separation of the south (older) and north (newer) parts of the town.
