Yeah good work man. Great to bring something like this into Wagga and lets hope its big enough to become an annual thing. Well done to all who have organised or helped with anything with this event.

Cheers Matt

Its either Wagga or Maitland. I think Maitland is just ever so slightly in front now.

Actually I think Mt Isa is technically the biggest city In Oz.

From... http://www.walkabout.com.au/locations/QLDMountIsa.shtml

Mount Isa proudly claims to be the largest city in the world; a fact born out by its accreditation in the Guinness Book of Records. The argument is that the city extends for 40 977 sq. km, and that the road from Mount Isa to Camooweal, a distance of 189 km, is the longest city road in the world.

Just did a search on Google,interesting facts;
Sydney's population is 4.3 million
Melbourne's population is 3.8 million,and Victoria's largest inland city is Ballarat at 87,000 followed by Bendigo at 84,000 so obviously Wagga can't be the biggest inland city,i thought that i heard this trivia question sometime on T.V.
But obviously Albury/Wodonga would have the biggest combined inland population.Funny how we got off the original topic. lol
Cheers John

I'd still reckon that Albury would be far bigger than Wagga (nothing against Wagga) as the biggest Inland city in Australia
