WALLABADAH Tourism

Wallabadah lies on the New England Highway at the southern entrance to the region. In part it is the branching avenue to the various parts of the inland region. From here you can travel through to the northwest via Quirindi, continue north along the New England Highway with the first stop being Tamworth or turn east just north of the village to access the Fossickers Way with the first stop being Nundle.

The main industry for the district is that of agriculture.

Highlight of the annual calendar is the New Years Day Picnic Races which draws large crowds from all over Australia to join in the day's festivities and racing.

Wallabadah is the home to a memorial to the First Fleet Memorial Gardens. Completed in 2005, the First Fleet memorial is the only garden memorial to the First Fleet. Caved by stone mason, Ray Collins, the names of all those who came out to Australia on the eleven ships in 1788 are found on tablets along the garden pathway. The stories of those who arrived on the ships, their life, and first encournters with the Australian country are presented throughout the Garden.

The memorial lies on the banks of Quirindi Creek, the perfect location to stop, take a break, picnic and be inspired whilst learning more about the history of Australia. The surrounding area has barbecue, tables, and amenities.
