Wamoon

Wamoon Leeton RoadLocated only about 10km west of Leeton is the village of Wamoon. With a population of no more than a couple of hundred, Wamoon is nestled in orange country. The village is surrounded by orchards, thus providing work for the people of Wamoon.

Wamoon has the same advantages as Leeton when it comes to water. Being serviced by irrigation canals, part of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation scheme, Wamoon will not run out of water. The local farms, mostly oranges, but also rice and wine grapes, have no problems with getting water, although in lean years their alocation may be reduced.

The village is just houses, and one public school. There are no shops, which is not a big issue considering how close Leeton is. 

yanco wamoon hawksThere is no question about what sport rules in Wamoon, rugby league! And it is the Yanco Wamoon Hawks who they support. Being a joint effort with Yanco, the club has its origins in Wamoon. Over the years it has been very successful and always competitive. Their uniform has been similar to that of Manly Warringah, but no they have taken on their own identity. As the residents of Wamoon would cry, "Go the hawks!"
