Penrith

Penrith is a popular suburb in Sydney, located 50 kilometres from the CBD. This suburb serves as the administrative centre of the City of Penrith, and more importantly, it is one of the four cities in Sydney’s metropolitan area.

Historically, the suburb was named after Penrith, an English town. This is believed to have come about because of the uncanny similarities between the towns, with the earliest reference made in 1819.
