Wagga wagga or Orange?
Just got two job offers from Wagga and Orange. Still looking for more info about these two places before I make a decision. They seem to have similar population, weather, lifestyle?, and take about the same time to the metro area. If I need to travel pretty often to Sydney, prefer a place with better scenery and energetic lifestyle, which one should I choose? I heard that wagga is the biggest inner city in NSW, but strangely I found much less rental info online for this area than for Orange...
Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!

Orange is a booming country town, great vineyards and food scene. I know where I'd choose.

I've worked in both a fair bit, and I have to say Wagga gets my vote, loved my time there, Junee is great too (not far from Wagga)
Orange is also a lovely place though, difficult decision.
Good luck I'm sure you'll make the right decision

Fair point, you'd get a lovely trip through the Blue Mountains, which can't be bad

I regularly go out to Orange from the BM's... for work and for pleasure. I love the feel, the architecture in the main town, great restaurants, good shopping. Lovely wine...

We lived just outside Wagga in Forest Hill a lovely place with real friendly people, it has a great primary school, my daughter loved it there. Property is very affordable and it's quiet and relaxed, has a couple of wineries, a chocolate factory in Junee (where you can see it being made). If you need any more info pm me and I can give you specifics.
