Boat ride up the river

Not sure what river it is but we took a ride on the ferry as far as it goes to Paramatta. This was based on a tip from our Hunter Valley tour guide - Robert. He also let it slip that the centre of population of Sydney is just west of Paramatta. This means that we're acutally much closer to the beach and the rest of the good stuff than almost everyone in the sprawl of the city.

The ferry ride itself was pleasant enough. The boat had to go very slow as the river narrowed which was a little annoying. They sounded the horn as did all the ships on the harbour at 1pm to mark the anniversary of Fort Dennison being made or something like that. It was less spectaclular because we were the only craft on that part of the river. It might've been quite impressive if we'd been down in Sydney Harbour.

Paramatta was a bit rubbish. Nothing noteable about the place except some punks drinking by the river. So we walked about for half an hour and then headed back on the ferry.
