Lazy Days in Wagga Wagga

Lazy

About

“The heat was excessive. Every window and door were open, and the balmy, almost imperceptible, zephyrs which faintly rustled the curtains and kissed our perspiration-beaded brows were rich with many scents from the wide old flower-garden, which, despite the drought, brought forth a wealth of blossom.”

Miles Franklin, My Brilliant Career, 1901

Lazy Days in Wagga Wagga presents a curated collection of photographs taken over a century of summers in our wonderful city. Discover how locals and visitors spent their leisure time keeping cool, whether relaxing in the shade of a willow or by taking a plunge in the Murrumbidgee. Experience everyday Aussies enjoying picnics, games, dancing and larking around, with each photo brought to life through the addition of colour.
