Sitting on a picturesque bank of the Billabong Creek, Wanganella is probably best known as the birthplace of the Peppin Merino sheep breed; a hardy, large sheep that was built for Australia's climate and conditions.
The Peppin Merino is now the most common breed in Australia, and a bronze statue at the front gates of Wanganella Station, just south of the village, commemorates its importance.
The village is around 45 minutes drive north of Deniliquin along the flat Hay Plains, and makes a great side-trip to see some special countryside.
If you're feeling adventurous, explore the region's tracks and waterways - either on foot or by bike - and maybe even find a secluded spot to cast a line and catch a fish or two.
Heading north from Deni, take a left at the first dirt road after the Billabong Creek bridge (no sign, no name!) for some beautiful natural picnic spots. As well as fish, this spot is home to several notable bird species.
