In the 1850s, the charming riverside village of Wardell, then known as 'Blackwall,' was a bustling cedar-getter settlement, home to two sawmills and a thriving river trade. As the cedar supply dwindled, the fertile lands gave way to sugarcane farming, which has since become the heart of Wardell’s economy. Today, Wardell offers a delightful escape steeped in history and natural beauty. Anglers will relish the excellent fishing opportunities, while history enthusiasts can embark on the 'Wardell Walkabout,' a self-guided tour of the village’s historic buildings that whisper tales of a bygone era. Situated upstream on the picturesque Richmond River, Wardell is a serene retreat surrounded by rolling sugarcane fields. It’s the perfect starting point for your journey along Tourist Drive 28. Don’t leave without sampling a famous Wardell pie – a treat as warm and welcoming as the village itself! Wardell is more than a destination; it’s an experience to discover its unique charm!
