Hi, I know that Wagga is a city, but could someone give a general idea of size with comparison to an English city, like Manchester or Liverpool, e.g smaller, larger. Hubby has been but only saw part of it. Thanx Lol x
In approximate terms, Lol, Wagga, which has a population of roughly 56,700 (in 2001) is a bit smaller than Doncaster, Torquay, Lowestoft, Aylesbury (any of them any good?) It's also a bit smaller than Manchester (population 60,000) was in 1760! ;) :grin:
Here's a list of English and Welsh towns with populations between 55,000 and 60,000 in 2001:

Hope there's one or two there that you know.
Don't forget that the population density per square mile/kilometre is vastly different - more spread out in Australia, generally speaking. :wink:
Thanx PR, I have more of an idea now :thumbsup: not packed like sardines, but spread out a bit more hmmmmmmmm Lol x
Not sure if you're aware, Lol, but Wagga is also the Australian Army recruitment training centre, so I'm not sure if its population includes the (big) Army barracks or not.
