I live in Wagga Wagga, these are the things I take visitors to see and do. Botanic gardens, go to the zoo, its free and there is a decent range of Australian animals that you can see up close. Once a month there is a model railway children can ride.
Head out to Charles Sturt University Winery, the view down across the valley is beautiful and their wine and cheese is really good.
For dinner try the Indian Tandoori Resturant, voted best Indian in NSW a couple of times. Its BYO so take a bottle you bought earlier at the Uni.
There is also a nice walking track along the river starting at the beach and heading south for a couple of km.
If you like liquorice and chocolates head out to the Junee liquorice Factory about half an hour away for a tour and lunch or afternoon tea.

there's a very friendly hostel in this town. apart from that, there's not much to see. this also was just a stop-over during my hitch-hike travels. do meet the locals there, very friendly and open people. hitch-hiking seemed to be safe, but as a girl you're probably always better of in a group of at least two.
Wagga Wagga is Australia's largest inland town, running off an arm of our longest river -which, contrary to popular opinion, is NOT the Murray-Darling but the Murrumbidgee River; the Murray-Darling is more than one river and is therefore a river system, while the Murrumbidgee is a river in its' own right.
For good food and wine, visit Magpie's Nest Restaraunt. All local produce. They grow there own Olives as well and make there own wine.
Veggies are also grown on site. Absolutely stunning. Just out side of wagga wagga.
