Rods Trip

I went for a drive to Penrith, along the way I stopped at Windsor and Richmond, for a look around. They are both included in the five towns that Governor Macquarie established in the Hawkesbury Valley back in 1810. Not far out of the town centre is the whitewater and regatta centre which was used for the kayak and rowing events in the 2000 Olympics. The whitewater course pumps move 14,000 litres of water a minute and is rated a grade 3 rapid. I went for a walk around the Westfield shopping centre, the place is huge.
