Parramatta Regional Park is National Heritage Listed and contains Australia's oldest surviving Government house. The park, formerly known as Governor's Domain, was laid out in the late 1700s not long after European settlement.
The park has a 3.5km bike track and was the location of this weekend's family bike ride.
We rode past Old Government House (built 1799) but declined the $18 family fee to look through. The kids weren't interested.
We rode past the site of Parramatta's first ever European building.
And we walked our bikes over the Parramatta River.

I took heed of Fairlie's excellent information about the colour accent feature of my camera and gave it a go. The idea is you choose one colour and the rest of the picture will be in B&W. I chose to highlight red. I see that it not only picked up the bright red shades but also the ochre ones as well.

I have been wondering for years what that colour accent thing was all about - Fairlie's post finally explained it in plain english. I've even figured out how to do it on mine!
By trial and error, I've figured out that you really need to make sure you capture the purest form of the colour you want accented and not include anything else vaguely in that colour family within the frame to get the 'pop' effect.
Sounds like you had a great day out in The Poolboy's stomping ground!
great to see you out and about on the bikes ... we treated oursleves to two tag a long bikes at xmas and now we tag the boys on the back of our bikes and we all go together.
It is a great family thing - ya le
You'll all need new bike tyres by Easter!
Very familiar part of the world to me - from working there a few years ago - not cycling...
You are such good parents to your children you two..
That does look like fun! Ours would have found the house tour boring.
I am so jealous of this camera feature! Our cheapie only does the basics. The 'pop' is stunning!
You lot certainly got the cycling bug... I'm envious of all the great places you are ending up :-)
These outings look great. we've been doing non-adventurous ones, tried and tested routes and even then we have such a nice time riding along together. Cherub on the trail-gator just chatters away behind me, it's lovely.
