17.01.2022 Acknowledging National Reconciliation Week, together with Symal, we took a very special tour to explore two culturally significant Aboriginal sites, led by Wurundjeri man and Wamarra employee Daniel Ross. We had the privilege to hear about Daniel’s ties to Country and what it means to him as an Aboriginal man to see other cultures coming together to learn about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history. Our tour included a guided walk through the secluded bushland along t...he northern banks of the Yarra River and Bolin Bolin Billabong where we gained an insight into our world’s oldest continuous living culture. Reconciliation Week and beyond is vital for us all as we continue to create a culturally respectful, inclusive, and safe workplace for all our people.

03.01.2022 Hailing from the banks of the Murray River in Echuca, meet Jarrod Hudson, our multiskilled labourer. "I spent six years in Darwin as a plumber before joining Wamarra. I heard about the business from my brother Ryan, who's a general labourer and machine operator for Wamarra. I started as a roof plumber working on site compounds for rail projects. Since then I've up-skilled on the job, jumping in with the boys learning chippy work, also rolling up the sleeves to learn concret...ing which I've never done before." says Jarrod. We’re incredibly proud of our people, embracing their diverse skill sets and motivations to grow within our business. "The foundation of Wamarra is looking after its people, whether it’s growth opportunities at work or seeing how things are going in our personal lives. They make sure we're all good". says Jarrod. #ourpeople #buildingbettertogether #wamarra #aboriginalbusiness #construction #labourer

After a tough year battling the pandemic, it’s an opportunity to pause, reflect and reconnect.
