Known as "The Citrus Centre of Australia," the town is surrounded by vast citrus orchards and over a million fruit trees, contributing to its prominence in the fruit and agricultural industry. The name "Waikerie" is believed to originate from an Aboriginal word, "wei kari," which means "many wings," a reference to the abundant birdlife found in the area's lagoons and wetlands.

The Waikerie Clifftop Walk provides stunning views of the river from elevated viewpoints.
