Since Australia was discovered, Parramatta has been regarded as being the starting point for things we now take for granted; for it is where most beginnings were made. Some of Australia’s most important primary industries - sheep breeding, wool growing and wheat farming - were started in Parramatta
Parramatta is a great warm and friendly city, the second oldest settlement in the Commonwealth and it is the oldest country town (proclaimed a city on 27th October 1938).
