| |  | | Parramatta is the 'other' central business district. 25 kilometres (15.5 miles) west of downtown Sydney, commerce and government have set up shop here and turned it into an outer business district. Historic colonial buildings and landmarks spot the banks of the Parramatta River, which is best enjoyed from Parramatta Park. Football, rugby, and a wealth of special events take place at the Parramatta Stadium. Australia's premier horse race is much more than just a race; the Golden Slipper is a month-long festival held at the Rosehill Garden Racecourse. | | | | |
