in other cases the town's name has been directly referred to as part of the content of songs and novels. for example, the song "don't call wagga wagga wagga", written by australian country music artists greg champion and jim haynes, was a minor hit on the australian country charts and is a light-hearted take on the habit of australians to refer to double named towns by one name only. other examples include the "harry potter" series of fantasy novels, where the character gilderoy lockhart claimed to have defeated the "wagga wagga werewolf", the bryce courtenay book "the power of one", where the main character peekay is said to have a cousin lenny from wagga wagga australia, the bryce courtenay book "jessica" has several passages that take place in wagga wagga, including the judgement of billy simple, and the robert g. barrett novel, ""mud crab boogie"" which is partially set in wagga wagga.
