Warrimoo (formerly Karabar) is a medium-sized village in the lower Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia, 273 metres above sea level.

Warrimoo is located 68 kilometres west of Sydney, in the local government area of the City of Blue Mountains.

There are several shops around the train station including a post office, fire station, cafe, car mechanic, antique shops, restaurant/venue hire and an old fashioned general store which is a popular tourist bus stop off point for groups heading to Katoomba and the Jenolan Caves.

Other local attractions within a 10 km radius include Glenbrook Swim Centre, Nepean River, Nepean Belle Paddlewheeler, Sydney International Regatta Centre, iFLY Downunder, Jetpack Adventures, Cables Wake Park, Glenbrook Cinema and Penrith Panthers.

Author and illustrator Dorothy Wall, who lived in Florabella St (1934–37), placed Warrimoo on the map with her children's books about the mischievous koala, Blinky Bill.

Polish born film maker Yoram Gross, turned the books into movies bringing the iconic character onto the world stage.

Norman Lindsay wrote about Bunyip Bluegum, the anthropomorphic koala star of well known children's book, The Magic Pudding which was also turned into a movie, directed by Karl Zwicky.

George Finey, who was a cartoonist on the Daily Telegraph also spent time living in Warrimoo[citation needed].

The Pippas Pass portion of the track is renowned for its colourful bushland such as flannel flowers, Waratah plants and pink angophoras and its shelter caves.

Warrimoo retains many historical homes and buildings throughout the village including a distillery (where the local public school now sits) and a former 'Bordillo'.

During his years there, Ardill built numerous homes along Florabella st and The Avenue which he set up for homeless women and children.

Ardill was also a key instigator in the removal of generations of Indigenous children from their families across Australia via his role in the New South Wales Aborigines Protection Board.
