The small town of Warragamba is situated beside Warragamba Dam, at the foot of the Blue Mountains west of Sydney.
Warragamba, situated on the outskirts of Wollondilly Shire, is just an hour from Sydney CBD. Originally established as a workers' settlement during the construction of the magnificent Warragamba Dam in the 1940s, the town still hosts a village and cottages from that era, preserving its historical charm. Additionally, remnants of rides from The African Lion Safari of the 1960s add a nostalgic touch to this unique and historically rich area.
Visitors can enjoy vast green picnicking areas, dam viewing platforms, and an education centre, making Warragamba an ideal destination for both recreation and learning about the region's significant engineering and natural history. The town also features an all-ability playground, an old charm gelato shop, and a delicatessen, providing a delightful experience for all ages.
