Warrimoo

Postcode: 2774

Warrimoo is a small village in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales, 75 kilometres west of Sydney, Australia. Warrimoo borders the townships/suburbs of Blaxland, Mount Riverview, Sun Valley, Valley Heights and Yellow Rock.

The name is believed to come from an Aboriginal word meaning "Eagle". The village slogan "Blinky Bill Territory" is in honour of Australian author Dorothy Wall, creator of the popular Blinky Bill series of children's books featuring the adventures of a mischievous koala.

The village came to national prominence during the devastating bushfires of 2001, which claimed several houses along Cross St. while miraculously sparing others.

At least 2 sighting of Echidnas have been made in Warrimoo over the past 10 years including one on the 10th of October 2005.

Warrimoo's excellent Public School has approximately 200 students.

Warrimoo's commercial complexes consist of a newsagency/Post Office, A Real Estate Agency, Mechanics, Italian Restaurant, An Antique Shop, and a couple of small sized manufacturing businesses.

Warrimoo has a few very beautiful escarpments and views, which are quite untapped by tourism due to the size of the suburb and the "tucked away" nature of the bush trails where the lookouts are placed.

Warrimoo is accessible by train on the City Rail Network and the shops are a few minutes walk across the bridge over the highway from the station.
