In June 1791 he called the developing settlement he had established Parramatta, using the local Aboriginal name for a place inhabited for many thousands of years by the Burramatta clan of the Darug people. This magnificent walk is filled with history and places of natural beauty. From Parramatta Ferry Wharf, cross the weir and proceed along the Aboriginal interpretive pathway to the Visitor Information Centre. Walk over historic Lennox Bridge and enter World Heritage-listed Parramatta Park through the George Street (Tudor) Gatehouse. The route passes Old Government House and the Dairy Cottage before entering Hospital land and reaching the head of the river. Here, at the junction of Toongabbie and Darling Mills Creeks, Governor Phillip camped. (When on Hospital land you must keep to the riverbank track and proceed only during daylight hours.) One way 1hr 45 walking 3.5km There are a number of options for returning to the Visitor Information Centre and Wharf. You may retrace your steps from the Camp site to the footbridge crossing near the café in Parramatta Park, and proceed on the opposite side of the river past the site of Government Farm (1789) and the old King’s School building. Both ways 3hr 15 walking 6.5km Alternatively, you may return by Redbank Road bridge, and ‘The Crossing’ over Darling Mills Creek via stepping stones, to a lookout opposite the Camp site. From there walk back along the red route via the Old Gaol, Fleet Street and Parramatta Park. Both ways 4hr walking 8.5km You can also walk one way in either direction using the well-serviced bus stop on Church Street near North Rocks Road (2hr 45 walking), or divide the walk into shorter sections or loops by use of the two footbridges in Parramatta Park. Note: Old Government House is open for tours, Tuesday to Sunday 10.30am - 4pm (Tel: 9635 8149). Historic Houses Walk proceeds from Parramatta Ferry Wharf, over the weir and along the Aboriginal interpretive walkway to the Visitor Information Centre. From there stay on the northern side of the river as far as the first footbridge (Noller Bridge) in Parramatta Park and cross through The Crescent to Old Government House (Tel: 9635 8149). Return via the George Street Gatehouse and join the green loop passing a number of other historic places, including St John’s Cathedral, Lancer Barracks, Experiment Farm Cottage (Tel: 9635 5655), Hambledon Cottage (Tel: 9635 6924) and Elizabeth Farm (Tel: 9635 9488). Opening days and times for tours are on the map. Continue back along the river to the Wharf, past the HMAS Parramatta Memorial. 3hr 15 walking 6.5km Alternatively, the above can be divided into two return walks, one to Old Government House (1hr 45 walking), and the other following the green route to the other historic places (2hr walking).You can also proceed directly east along the river for a return walk to Elizabeth Farm, Experiment Farm Cottage and Hambledon Cottage (1hr 15 walking). Another choice is to proceed one way along the route from Rosehill Station or bus stop (M92), and exit at Westmead Station (2hr 30 walking). Check opening times for historic places as they can change. Allow extra time for tours. Lake Parramatta Walk lies within the Lake Parramatta Reserve in North Parramatta and circles the lake created by the damming of Hunts Creek in 1855. This significant reserve of remnant bushland has a high level of biodiversity and evidence of Aboriginal occupation and includes the Arrunga Bardo Bush Food Garden. The walk can be accessed by bus stops nearby, particularly the well-serviced bus stop on Church Street near North Rocks Road, or by car via Lackey Street. See map for bus stops. 1hr 30 walking 4km Parramatta Themed Trails are a magnificent series of self-guided walking brochures that have been produced by Parramatta City Council and can be found online at www.discoverparramatta.com>Events>Tours or at the Visitor Centre. Two of the brochures cover the City’s walking and cycling routes, while the others are walks with particular themes, including Aboriginal and colonial history, art and architecture, the local food culture and hidden stories.
