Wanganella /ˈwæŋɡənɛlə/ is a village community on the Billabong Creek in New South Wales, Australia. The settlement is on the Cobb Highway, located between Hay (to the north) and Deniliquin (to the south). Wanganella is within the Edward River Council local government area. At the 2016 census, Wanganella had a population of 30.[1]
Land was subdivided at Wanganella and in 1864 allotments were sold. A traveller passing through Wanganella in mid-1865 described the township as consisting "of two public houses, a blacksmith’s shop, and a shoemaker’s shop"; he also stated that "a neat bridge" had been erected over Billabong Creek.[2] Another report from 1865 stated there were twenty-five persons living at Wanganella, which had two inns, two stores and two butchers' shops.[3]
