Heritage Buildings

The Warialda Visitor Centre in conjunction with the Warialda Historical Society have produced a town walk where historical sites can be identified using the booklet available at the Visitor Centre. Some buildings are still standing today and have been well maintained, however others have deteriorated, been demolished or were destroyed by fire.

The red-brick courthouse (1882) and the post office (1880) are located by the intersection of these two. Carinda House (1889) is a little further south on Stephen St. It is now an arts and crafts centre.

Warialda was the first town gazetted in the Northwest Slopes region, probably in the 1830s and was the headquarters of the Yallaroi Shire.

More information regarding the History of Warialda can be found at the Visitors Information Centre where a museum of local history is housed.
