Waramanga, Australian Capital Territory

Waramanga (/wɒrəmæŋɡə/) (postcode: 2611) is a suburb of Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia in the district of Weston Creek.

The Weston Creek district was part of Yarralumla Station, a 40,000 acre (162 km2) property dating back to 1828.

In 1920 9,000 acres (36 km2) of the Woden Valley, including the Weston Creek district, were subdivided for soldier settlement leases.
