Powerhouse museum transfer from Pyrmont to the flood plain of Parramatta River at Parramatta almost complete. The size and weight of the building should stop flood waters from sweeping it away however the basement will probably be inundated…. #parramatta #powerhouse #dharug

The milkcrate is almost built and ready for occupation. All the building needs now is a few finishing touch ups. #parramatta #dharug #powerhouse

This Australian Brush Turkey lives in a park in the middle of Sydney (Dharug Country) and is now in full regalia colours for breeding…. These birds have started to populate the city similar to pigeons, Ibis etc. It’s all the good, abundant food! #brushturkey #birds #dharug #sydney #parramatta

A courting butterfly gets too close and is eventually waved off. The male has plenty of energy even battling against wind gusts. #butterfly #behaviour #insects #parramatta #dharug #life

Sulphur Crested Cockatoo. Western Sydney has permanent flocks…plenty of water and food for them in the city.
A heritage house, I think, in Good Street Harris Park. The cockatoos feed on the fruit of the trees in the front yard.
Little Black Cormorants enjoying a dip in a creek now a cemented storm water drain. The drain prevents rain water from flooding the streets. The run off water would be very polluted. Not potable.
The ubiquitous Rock Pigeons enjoying a meal provided by a tenant of this apartment block.
Some photos of Harris Park, a suburb between Granville and Parramatta. #harrispark #dharug #parramatta #birds

A Great Egret forages down a storm water drain under the M4 motorway near Harris Park, Western Sydney. Dirty rain water flows down transporting our dumped rubbish to the sea. Our wildlife makes it’s best life. #pollution #birds #birdlife #parramatta #dharug

This corella has a dirty beak because it has been digging about in the ground for food. Its face will be cleaned next time it takes a drink in Parramatta River.
A Long-Billed Corella spotted with about 100 others in Parramatta Park. #birdlife #birds #corella #parramatta #dharug

A settler Duck in Parramatta Park. Parramatta on Dharug Country was very fertile for farming to feed the new arrivals. These imported ducks and geese could be direct descendants from these early farm food animals. #Dharug #Parramatta #colonists #invaders #ducks #birdlife

New Powerhouse Museum (The Milk Crate) on the river in an area that regularly floods!
St Johns Church, oldest or maybe the second oldest Christian Church in Parramatta. The spires were added a few years later.
Some Australian Broadcasting Corporation studios have been relocated from Sydney City to Parramatta City.
Sights of Parramatta….new powerhouse museum on Parramatta flood plain, old convict built (slave) church on Church Street and new ABC studios in Parramatta Square. #Dharug #Parramatta #church #powerhouse #abcradio #Burramatta

"Place of the Eels by Christopher Tobin honours Parramatta - or Burramatta - as the home of the eels. This year’s NAIDOC theme ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy' reflects on the Dharug people's enduring knowledge systems and the importance of passing their stories on. Tobin explains that the ‘barra’ (eel) was an important food source for the local Baramadagal. Each Autumn, the lagoons around Parramatta provided abundant food as mature eels prepared for their 5,000km journey to the Coral Sea to give birth to the next generation. These seasonal gatherings drew Aboriginal groups from across the region together to share knowledge, celebrate culture, and build a legacy."

Flight paths from Sydney airport were changed a few years ago and now Sydney’s inner west is even more noisier.
Parramatta Road follows an ancient First Nation walking path between Gadigal country and Dharug Country.
This section of Parramatta Road has lots of wedding shops.
