Parramatta context
A colonial center on much older Darug Country
Parramatta developed as an early colonial farming and administrative center, but its history begins with the Burramattagal people of the Darug nation. Government House, churches and civic streets reflect later colonial expansion and dispossession. This quest’s wedding deadline is fictional; the route connects real places from several layers of Parramatta history.
