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 Leiocarpa), bees collect large to huge volumes of the pollen which provides a good surplus of honey.
