While some people were stuck at home in isolation or queueing up for a COVID-19 test on Boxing Day, locals and visitors alike were still out in huge numbers across Wagga today, making the most of the sunny weather and clear skies.
Outdoor venues proved popular over the weekend, including the Botanic Gardens which was filled with people either going for a walk, enjoying a picnic in the shade or children using the play equipment.
