I visited while my wife was working nearby just to kill half an hour..woops stayed 2hrs lucky my wife was busy..phew... There are three sites to visit 1 railway museum on Wagga Wagga station platform right side near bridge. It is full of photos and memorabilia and Peter is very informative and knowledgeable. It costs a donation of $2 to help the running of preservation society a further $2 will get you access to the larger dispay items located a short walk over "Mothers Bridge" where the informative Sue and hubby Ken will take you through the displays. See photos of some of the items. This has 2 sheds full of stuff including display materials. You can see them restoring old items by another gent which I didn't get a name for sorry.. visit their website for more info. Open from 11am to 2.30pm most days The third shed houses a model rail layout(s) but is only open Wednesday's or first Saturday of the month. Sadly i visited on a friday. Again over the bridge but left 100m Unfortunately for this society and others in NSW means that there is no heritage railways due to to much nanny state regulations. If you want to ride a steam train come to Melbourne plenty of different ones available and i don't mean Puffing Billy ( a good commercial one running in the Dandenongs). I highly recommend this attraction to all rail enthusiasts and for those wishing a bit of history.
2. Cadell Place
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 4 reviews
Coffee - Wine - Food - Gardening - Art - Shopping Cadell Place was an abandoned, contaminated, concrete space now a thriving urban sanctuary. Providing a wholesome, local produce-driven environment that is fresh, fun and innovative, Cadell aims to be a welcoming community space bringing people together. Cadell is a maze of revived indoor and outdoor spaces worth exploring and getting lost in. Open 7 days a week - Cadell brings together local producers and creators. Hosting regular Saturday mini-markets we aim to give local an opportunity to sell their goods in a community environment. Reviving an abandoned space takes time and over the next 12 months Cadell aims to be an ever changing development with something new to see all the time. From the installation of the indoor bee hive to the week long art exhibition in the old shearing equipment shed - keep an eye on socials for what's going on!

This little oasis is just perfect, it makes you feel welcome the minute you enter. With fabulous shops and cafes around it that supplement each other. This could be Wagga Wagga’s secret gem.

Formerly the city's Council Chambers, this historic building now hosts local and touring exhibitions covering history, science, innovation and technology. The Museum of the Riverina's two sites bring history to life, with exhibitions and activities for all ages.

I did visit both venues of the Museum of the Riverina - this one, in the heart of town, near the galleries and library, featured the historical council chamber and an exhibition entitled 'SPY' on espionage in Australia and beyond, and the lady on the desk was very helpful and kind. The other venue, up the hill next to the Botanic Gardens, is a very interesting little museum, with all kinds of memorabilia of early days of Wagga Wagga, and its people/pioneers, heroes, vehicles and equipment (outside) and more. Well worth a visit.

A lovely way to spend an hour or so poking into the RAAF history. Located just outside the gates of RAAF Base Wagga, the museum is the old gaurdhouse so is interesting in itself. The two gentlemen custodians are very knowledgeable and are ex-serving in the Air Force so are a font of knowledge about all things RAAF. Take your time dwlving into the history and discovering all the nooks and crannies in this very interesting museum. Great activity for all the family.
