Wee Waa (pronounced 'Wee War') is known as The Cotton Capital of Australia. It is the base of The Namoi Cotton Co-Operative (the largest grower-owned organisation in the country) and of Cotton Seed Distributors who sell seeds to growers from around the world.
Cotton was first introduced into the area in the early 1960s and intensive research and improved irrigation have created the largest cotton yields in Australia, bringing considerable prosperity to the district.
