The Parramatta River defines the setting of Parramatta — its tidal waters and foreshore parks run through one of western Sydney’s principal commercial centres, shaping commutes, walks and dining precincts. This city centre has a far older story than its towers suggest: Parramatta was established in 1788, making it one of Australia’s earliest European settlements. In Parramatta Park, Old Government House, begun in 1799, forms part of the UNESCO-listed Australian Convict Sites. Riverside Theatres and restaurants reflecting Asian, Middle Eastern and Australian culinary traditions add to the area’s metropolitan character.
