I don't know about Wagga Wagga being the largest city in NSW, I think 
that honour goes to Sydney which is the state captial of NSW, is the 
largest city in whole country & has over 4 million residents.
I'm looking at a touring compnanion of Australia - it's a bit old, 
1999, but Wagga is alot smaller than say places like Newcastle & 
Wollongong, cities a couple of hours drive either side (north & 
south) of Sydney.

Another thought I had is that maybe the charm was invented by the 
person who used in Wagga & was lost when Lockhart wiped his memory.
No memory of the charm, no charm, all that's left is the Wolfsbane 
potion again.
