Harvesting the crop
Warialda sits in the heart of the renowned Golden Triangle, an area known for its highly productive farmland. Crops grown in the region include sorghum, wheat, barley, corn and more. Agriculture is the primary economic driver for the Warialda area, supporting both the local economy and surrounding communities. The harvest season for winter crops typically begins in early October and runs through to December, while summer crop harvesting starts in January and continues through to March.
Cranky Rock
The turn off to Cranky Rock is located 5km east of Warialda, along the Gwydir Highway. The 3km sealed road will take you all the way to Cranky Rock where you will find a jumble of giant boulders heaped in the most fantastic positions by a past volcanic upheaval, features include a suspension bridge and a viewing platform.
Facilities include picnic areas, a large shelter with free barbecues, public toilets and a children’s playground. There is a full time caretaker and kiosk on site and should you wish to stay overnight or even longer there is a campground with powered/unpowered sites and hot showers available.
