PARRAMATTA IN COLOUR

​

Parramatta was an established and bustling city centre long before it was declared “Sydney’s second CBD”. It was founded in 1788, the same year as Sydney, and is rich in historical landmarks including St John’s Cathedral, the Centennial Memorial Clock, Town Hall and Lancer Barracks. Take a little journey back in time and encounter some Paramatta’s many heritage sites that still stand today.
