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.
