Warialda, Place of Wild Honey

Warialda, Place of Wild Honey Warialda 'Place of Wild Honey', is an attractive small town on the Reedy Creek.

Warialda, with a population of 1300, is one of the major towns of the Gwydir Shire in north-western NSW. It is situated 602 km north of Sydney and 320 m above sea-level on a tributary creek of the Gwyroads, being 190 km north of Tamworth along the Fossickers Way and 62 km north-west of Inverell via the Gwydir Highway. The town's name is said to mean 'place of wild honey' and presumably derives fro

m 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.

Part-Time Grounds & Maintenance Officer – Naroo Aged Care Hostel

Do you take pride in a job well done? Do you love the idea of tending gardens residents can stroll through, fixing what needs fixing, and being the go-to person who keeps a whole community running smoothly?
Naroo is looking for a hands-on, reliable part-time Maintenance and Grounds Officer to join our team 3 days per week.
This isn't just a maintenance job β€” it's a role where your work directly brightens the days of our residents, families, and staff.

About the Role
As our part-time Maintenance and Grounds Officer, you'll be responsible for keeping Naroo's buildings, equipment, and grounds safe, functional, and beautiful. One day you might be repairing furniture or fittings, the next you'll be creating a garden space our residents can safely enjoy. You'll work closely with the Aged Services Manager and play a genuine role in supporting our residents' quality of life.

What We're Looking For
A practical, can-do attitude with solid all-round maintenance and repair skills
Genuine care for older people and a commitment to creating a warm, safe environment
Strong communication and teamwork skills
Good attention to detail, especially when it comes to safety documentation
A green thumb (or a willingness to develop one!) for garden upkeep
Alignment with Naroo's values and a positive, community-minded approach.

Additional information can be obtained by contacting Sharon Baker on 0437 134 501.

Applications are to be completed online and uploaded with all the required documentation.

πŸŒ‘ Cranky by name, mysterious by nature…

In 1874, local cook Charlie Young was accused of fatally attacking Warialda resident Elizabeth Golthorpe before fleeing into the bush. Local legend claims he was pursued by police and leapt to his death from the towering rocks - although historical records say he was later found dead near Gragin Station, leaving the true story open to speculation.

Today, Cranky Rock is a much more welcoming place! Explore the giant granite boulders, cross the suspension bridge, climb to the lookout or settle in for a picnic or overnight stay.

Just try not to let every rustle in the bushes spark your imagination… πŸ‘€
