Penrith

Penrith straddles the Nepean River on Sydney’s western edge, where the Cumberland Plain meets the foothills of the Blue Mountains and the waterway has long shaped its connection with Emu Plains. Riverbank paths and the Great River Walk make the Nepean central to local life, while the mountains rise to the west. North of the centre, Penrith Lakes transformed former sand-and-gravel quarries into recreation land and the Sydney International Regatta Centre, which staged rowing and canoe sprint events at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The Museum of Fire, housed in the former Penrith Power Station, traces Australia’s firefighting heritage.
