Before the colonial era, the town was home to the Darug people who observed the traditional way of life.

From the colonial era, Penrith has since grown to be one of the most beautiful suburbs in Sydney. One of the best places to enjoy this suburb’s attractions is at The Rock Lookout area within the Blue Mountains National Park. The lookout point, which is located in the iconic Mulgoa Valley, provides panoramic views of the Nepean River and the surrounding gorge. It is the perfect location for bushwalkers looking for an outdoor adventure.

Make time to visit the Bents Basin State Conservation Area, a perfect destination for swimming, picnics and camping. There is also the added advantage of spectacular views as the conservation area constitutes part of the gorge’s gorgeous structure. Alternatively, take on Caleys Lookout track to soak in the region’s beautiful sights.

For those who love an adrenaline rush, nothing beats the Luddenham Raceway – one of the latest go-kart centres in Sydney. It features a 600-metre track for pros and a 200-metre track for racers in the junior category. Other adrenaline-pumping activities include teeing off at the Penrith Golf and Recreation and kayaking at the Penrith Whitewater Stadium.
