Extract from the Parramatta and Penrith Travel Guides: Situated on the Parramatta River, a little over 20km upstream from the harbour mouth,
PARRAMATTA
was the first of Sydney's rural satellites - the first farm settlement in Australia, in fact. The fertile soil of "Rosehill", as it was originally called, saved the fledgling colony from starvation with its first wheat crop of 1789. It's hard to believe today, but dotted here and there among the malls and busy roads are a few remnants from that time - eighteenth-century public buildings and original settlers' dwellings that warrant a visit if you're interested in Australian history.
