| Warrimoo is the next town after Blaxland
when travelling west along the Great Western Highway. Warrimoo is a small town
with a handful of businesses ideally situated on the Great Western Highway. The
general store also acts as the local Post Office. Warrimoo is primarily residential
with its own primary school located on Florabella Street. Warrimoo businesses
successfully survived the widening of the Great Western Highway to four lanes
in '97- '98. The end result is a significantly safer road and a vast improvement
on previous conditions. Visitors
may wish to stop at the Antique Shop, check out properties for sale in the Real
Estate or even dine in the award winning Italian Restaurant. The name Warrimoo
is aboriginal for place of eagles or eagle's nest.
Adjacent to Warrimoo
Station is Ardill Park, which has recently been re-landscaped - a great resting
place for the family. On
the opposite side of the railway line to the Great Western Highway you can take
Rickard Road to Warrimoos Recreation Reserve.
At the reserve you
will find Warrimoo Oval and tennis courts opposite John Wycliffe Christian School.
Warrimoo is also known as Blinky Bill Territory - the author
Dorothy Wall lived in Florabella Street.
