The village of Wanaaring is enjoying an upgrade to some of the town’s facilities with drought funding improving amenities for residents and visitors.

The continued work on sealing the Wanaaring Road is adding to the improvements and the town is seeing a marked increase in the number of tourists travelling to the town.
