"Where I was born" Penrith by liefje

Penrith is on the edge of Sydney Metro area about an hour by train from Central and about 11/2 hours by car(on a good day). The best things about this place is the historical surroundings and the mountains. For a good meal try "Cottage Lane Caft Gourmet" except on Mondays and Tuesdays. The River area is great for picnics and relaxation.

• Pros:The mountains, river, historical buildings/sites
• Cons:Lack of good resturants, Hot Summers 40 C +
• In a nutshell:Far enough from the city, close enough to Mountains
