Warragamba is a town in New South Wales,
Australia, in Wollondilly Shire. Located on the
eastern edge of the Blue Mountains,
Warragamba is one and a half hour's drive west of
Sydney.

Originally constructed as a workers' settlement
during the construction of Warragamba Dam,
Sydney's primary water source, in the 1940s the
modern town of Warragamba remains on the
same site adjacent the dam. The town was built
from scratch, including homes, shops, schools and
other facilities.

On completion of the dam being built many
workers bought their homes from the Water Board
and stayed on in the Warragamba township.
