Parramatta Park is about history. It's about spaciousness and leisure activities. It's about fruit bats, the upper extremity of the Parramatta River, monuments and historical relics galore. There's lots of cricket getting played, usually by Parramatta's Indian population, there are rock concerts and orchestral ones, and there's Old Government House - the oldest surviving public building in Australia. Then there's the site of the first farm, the one that saved the early European settlers from an early starvation. There's the remains of an astronomical observatory, and there's lots more. I could go on, but I won't. It's a top park. Check it out if you haven't yet.
My Sydney. Still exploring the place after two decades here. Lots to see, lots to experience, lots to learn. And beyond Sydney, there's a whole world to explore too!
