Description: Flowing from the heart of Sydney's west to the harbour, the Parramatta River has shaped the land and its people for millennia. This richly researched exploration traces the waterway from its deep Aboriginal heritage as Deerubbin, through its colonial role as a convict highway, to its industrial heyday and the ongoing fight to restore its ecological health. Blending natural history, cultural insight and urban geography, it offers a compelling portrait of one of New South Wales' most vital and contested waterways.
