About Warialda
This historic small town along the Fossickers Way tourist route in New England North West. The Fossickers Way begins at Tamworth and continues north through Manilla, Barraba, Bingara and Warialda. You can still go fossicking for semi-precious stones and gold in the local area – just pick up a map from the shire office. Polish up your knowledge of rough, cut and polished stones at Wells Gem and Mineral Collection in the Warialda Heritage Centre.
At Warialda you can follow a self-guided walking tour of the town's historic buildings. Stop at Carinda House, built in 1889, and now an arts and crafts centre.
