>> An Introduction To Penrith
To the west of Sydney lies Penrith, a suburb with a love of sport. It lies at the entrance to the Blue Mountains and features its own Rugby League team, and has previously hosted Olympic events.
Penrith is one of the major commercial centres in Western Sydney. Many large businesses are based here. If you feel like doing some shopping, Westfield Penrith features more than 200 shops and department stores. Penrith is also home to a variety of factory outlets offering big discounts on quality goods.
Get in touch with your cultural side and pay a visit to the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Complex, home to the Penrith Conservatorium of Music, as well as the Q Theatre. The complex features both classical and contemporary concerts and theatre.
Watch the mighty Penrith Panthers roar as you take in a rugby league game at Penrith Stadium. Experience the electric atmosphere as fans scream and yell for their beloved teams. The stadium is also home to Penrith Nepean United soccer club.
Visit the Sydney International Regatta Centre in Penrith, which hosted the rowing events during the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. It is now a popular sporting, corporate and social venue and welcomes approximately 50,000 visitors a month.
Head to the Penrith White-Water stadium and experience the electrifying rush of white water rafting. Feel the water pull and push you as you struggle against the current in this specially designed course. If you crave more adventure, the Jenolan Caves are nearby, offering you the opportunity to go caving and explore the spectacular underground environment.
The suburb is full of landmarks - including St Stephens Anglican Church, which was constructed in 1844 and remains in use today. Visit the Museum of Fire and discover the rich history of Australia's firefighters, from past to present. See old fire engines or learn some basic fire safety techniques.
Cruise the Nepean River that winds through Penrith, aboard the Nepean Belle Paddle Wheeler. This magnificent old vessel will let you relive the romance of a forgotten area as you pass the marvellous peaks of the Nepean Gorge towering 150 metres above you. For land lovers, the river banks are ideal for a picnic.
Penrith is a city in its own right and has a huge variety of attractions to explore, with outdoor sport playing a big part. Experience life in the Western suburbs.
