Rich in History
Beginning as a native wilderness overseen by the local indigenous people for at least 50,000 years, to an area of agricultural potential following expeditions by Hume and Hovell in 1824 and Major Mitchell in 1836, the Warby's share a rich and diverse history around it's use and inhabitants. Today, the area is managed as an environmentally and culturally significant National Park which shares boundaries with a range of agriculture including citrus and stone fruit growers in the ranges, cattle and crop farmers in the lowlands, and a number of boutique vineyards scattered on its fringes.
