All About Penrith, NSW, 2750

Penrith, a city situated in Greater Western Sydney, New South Wales, lies on the banks of the Nepean River. It is the administrative capital of its eponymous local government area, the City of Penrith. It is one of just 4 cities within the Greater Sydney region. First settled in 1804, the origins of its name are a subject of debate. One popular story is that it was named for the town of Penrith in Cumbria by a man who noticed some similarities between the two cities; another is that it is a corruption of Penryhn, a name which may have come from a ship carrying women convicts from England. As a major commercial hub, Penrith contains two shopping centres and is densely populated by shops, restaurants and other outlets.

As both a city in its own right and a suburb of Sydney, being just 55 kilometres from its central business district, Penrith is a bustling centre of commerce, business and culture. The North Shore and Western line runs through Penrith Station, connecting the city to Sydney directly, and access by road to the city is provided by the Great Western Highway among other major roads. Penrith is well connected, well serviced and full of opportunity and excitement.
