Reedy Creek Warialda

Warialda 'Place of Wild Honey', is an attractive small town on the Reedy Creek. Warialda, with a population 1300, is one of the major towns of the Gwydir Shire in north-western NSW. It is situated 602 km north of Sydney and 320 m above sea-level on a tributary creek of the Gwydir River. Warialda also lies at the intersection of two main roads, being 190 km north of Tamworth along the Fossickers Way and 62 km north-west of Inverell via the Gwydir Highway. (go to map)

The town's name is said to mean 'place of wild honey' and presumably derives from the tongue of the original inhabitants, the Weraerai Aborigines. The name is thought to be related to the honey that is produced from the abundant pollen of the Tumbledown Gum (Angophora costata), bees collect large to huge volumes of the pollen which provides a good surplus of honey.

Warialda's Rent a Country Home project was started due to a decrease in numbers at our local Primary School so we are looking for families with school aged children. We are also looking for families who have something positive to contribute to our community.

Country homes are now available at very affordable rates - some just need a little tender loving care. Warialda's rent a country home project invites families to the district to enjoy everything the north-western NSW town has to offer.

The Rent-a-Country-Home project is run by The Busy Bees - a small, but enthusiastic group of like minded community members and the Gwydir Shire Council. The Busy Bees invites families who want to leave the stress and cost of city living behind and give their children a 'life in the country'.

Rent-a-Country-Home and get a community! Warialda is waiting with open arms.
