Here are some captures of Parramatta on the weekend in Sydney-Australia. It wasn’t a brilliant day but at least it stopped raining in the afternoon.
Parramatta is a major business and commercial centre, and home to Westfield Parramatta, the tenth largest shopping centre in Australia. Parramatta is also the major transport hub for Western Sydney, servicing trains and buses, as well as having a ferry wharf and future light rail and metro services.
Multicultural Parramatta combines a buzzing commercial area with a developing art and film scene. The Westfield Parramatta mall, trendy bars and Church Street’s global eateries serve young professionals and creative types. Families and tourists explore Parramatta Park’s riverside cycle paths and historic colonial sites like 18th-century Old Government House. Riverside Theatres presents mainstream drama and concerts.
This suburb is actually a good suburb, it is Sydney's second CBD, has one of the biggest shopping centres in Australia and public transport is great too. There are trains to Penrith and City and buses to almost everywhere ( hills, Hornsby, hurstville, chatswood, Macquarie etc.)
One of Sydney's major business hubs, Parramatta has enjoyed a renaissance of late and is a vibrant place to live. Parramatta has a below average violent crime rate and a below average property crime rate for Sydney.
