How did Wagga Wagga get it’s name?

It has been claimed that “wagga wagga” is a Wiradjuri Aboriginal word meaning “place of many crows” but Stan Grant, who is one of the many Wiradjuri speakers, claims that it is a word used to describe sacred ceremonies in which a man dances in circles with a wonderfully rolling, rollicking gait. “Look at that man. He is gripped by the sacred spirit. He is dancing in a trance and going round and round … yes that’s truly Wagga Wagga.”
