Rivercat to Parramatta

The trip from Sydney to Parramatta isn't something I ever had the need to do.  And if I was to have done it, I'd have taken the train because it's so much faster.  So I'd never taken the Rivercat to Parramatta.  But on this day, it was such a lovely day and Mum and I had nothing better to do anyway, so we did it!

Historic Bell's Store, or Fenwick Stone Building, built in the 1880s.  Restored in 2012 (the stepped gable had to be reproduced from an old photo as it had been removed when it was used as Fenwick's tugboat company).
