A beautiful place to be: students explore city’s wetland
Local students have flocked to Marrambidya Wetland as excursions, originally put on hold due to the pandemic, are back on the agenda before the end of the school year.
More than 180 students from Lutheran School Wagga Wagga, Henschke Primary School and Turvey Park Public School visited the wetland to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature during spring.
Students spotted wetland birds including Black-winged Stilts, White-necked Herons, Australasian Darter, Pelicans, and even a few pairs of Australian Wood Ducks with their baby chicks, with some students treated to a sunbaking display by Eastern long-necked turtles.

‘Adopt don’t shop’ for a pet this Christmas
Christmas is just around the corner and Wagga Wagga City Council has a message for the local community – ‘adopt not shop’ if they are thinking about getting a new pet this holiday season.
The Glenfield Road Animal Shelter currently has several cats and dogs available to become your new furry family member through adoption.
Animal Welfare Supervisor Julie McPhail said residents can give an animal a second chance at a forever home by choosing to adopt from a council animal shelter, RSPCA shelter or approved rehoming organisation.
“We’re just asking people to ‘adopt, don’t shop’. There are plenty of rescue cats and rescue dogs that are absolutely gorgeous and beautiful who are needing a new home,” Ms McPhail said.
