People and Place: Fitzmaurice and Baylis Streets, Wagga Wagga

Fitzmaurice and Baylis Street Walking Tours

The Museum of the Riverina and Charles Sturt University Regional Archives invite you to take a walk with us downtown as we explore the many layers of history in Wagga Wagga’s former and current main streets.

Curator and historian, Dr Nancy Blacklow has many stories to tell as she leads two distinct walking expeditions:

1. Fitzmaurice Street: Listen to tales of the early days of Wagga, from the first banks and police quarters to the history of Chinese settlement in the area. With such a deep history, there are many fascinating stories to hear on this tour.

2. Baylis Street: This tour will explore some of the 20th century developments of the city, examining buildings and businesses that used to, and still thrive and flourish in the main street of Wagga Wagga.
