History

File:Wee Waa.JPG
Kamilaroi Highway, Wee Waa

Before the arrival of European settlers, the Wee Waa area was inhabited by the Gamilaraay/Kamilaroi Aboriginal people.[3]

The Wee Waa run was taken up by squatter George Hobler in 1837 and the settlement developed. It became an administrative centre in the late 1840s. A police station and court of petty sessions were established in 1847 and a post office opened two years later. It is the oldest established town in the area and is the birthplace of the commercial cotton industry in Australia.

Rail services were extended in 1901 from Narrabri to Walgett, passing through the town.

The first commercial cotton plantation was established in 1961, irrigated with water from the Keepit Dam on the Namoi River.[4]

It was the first town built on the Namoi River. The town is subject to regular floods and is protected by a levee bank. However thousands of people were isolated on properties around Wee Waa in February 2012.

In 1973, Arthur Murray led the Aboriginal cotton-chippers on strike for better pay and working conditions.[7] The Wee Waa Echo called them "radicals and professional troublemakers", adding that "it is not fanciful to see the Aboriginal problem as the powder keg for Communist aggression in Australia".[8]

It was in Wee Waa police station that rugby player Eddie Murray died in 1981, one of the Aboriginal deaths in custody that prompted a Royal Commission to be set up.[9] It was also the first town in Australia to use DNA testing to find a rapist.[10]

On 17 May 2013 at the 79th Annual Wee Waa Show, Columbia Records held the global launch party for the French electronic music duo Daft Punk's album Random Access Memories.[11] This caused much excitement in the town, and it attracted an estimated 2,500 tourists.[12][13] It was initially believed that footage recorded from the event would be used for a music video;[14][15][16][17] however, this did not come to fruition.

Sport

The town has a multi-function Sports Complex, which also acts as a de facto community centre.

The most popular sport in Wee Waa is rugby league, the name of the town's club is the Wee Waa Panthers. The Panthers compete in the Group 4 Rugby League competition, which is based in the areas surrounding Tamworth. The club's most famous export is Jamie Lyon.[18] A club junior, Lyon famously left his professional career with the Parramatta Eels to return for a season with the Wee Waa Panthers.[19] The first-grade team went on to win that year (2004) against Moree, 55 to 12.[20] Lyon returned to professional football with St Helens for two years to play in the European Super League.[21] Following this, Lyon played for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles playing from 2007 to 2016,[22] winning a premiership in 2008[23] and 2011.

The local soccer club is the Wee Waa United Football Club. In 2019, the club won the Namoi Premier League beating Narrabri FC 2–1 in extra time. The game was broadcast across the state on BarTV.

Wee Waa produced Andrew Currey, the former Australian Olympic javelin athlete and the nation's leading javelin specialist in the 1990s. Curry competed at two Olympic games; Atlanta 1996 & Sydney 2000. Additionally, Curry competed in three Commonwealth Games: 1994 Victoria, 1998 Kuala Lumpur, and 2002 Manchester.
