Sydney & Beyond
Further afield
CityRail's network makes it easy to explore parts of Sydney usually better known
to locals than to visitors.
- South Cronulla is one of the most visited beaches in Sydney. Not only is
it safe for swimming and close to shops and cafes, it's the only Sydney beach
you can reach entirely by train - take the Illawarra Line straight to Cronulla
Station
- From Cronulla Station you can connect by bus to Kurnell, and walk on the
historic place where Captain James Cook first landed in 1788
- Sydney's Royal National Park was the first gazetted national park in the
world. Its lush habitats range from heath, to rainforest, to open woodland
and estuarine systems. To get to the Royal National Park, take the Illawarra
Line to Loftus, Engadine, Heathcote or Waterfall stations. On Sundays and
public holidays, a tram travels between Loftus Station and the park
- The Penrith Whitewater Stadium was the 2000 Olympic venue for the canoe/kayak
slalom events. Take the challenge to experience whitewater rafting in the
only man-made whitewater course of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere by
taking the Western Line to Penrith. While you're in Penrith, visit the Muru
Mittigar Aboriginal Cultural Centre, an initiative of the Western Sydney Aboriginal
Community
- Parramatta holds a special place in Sydney's history as the site of the
original market gardens for European settlement. Parramatta's historic buildings
live comfortably in the city environment of Parramatta. To visit Elizabeth
Farm, or Government House, take the Western Line to Parramatta Station
- Cabramatta is Sydney's best kept gourmet secret, a bustling market place
of all the exotic fruits, vegetables, meat and special ingredients needed
for more than a dozen South East Asian cuisines, available from soup stands,
food stalls, restaurants, and specialty stores. Take the South Line, Bankstown
Line, or Cumberland Line to Cabramatta Station
- Sydney Olympic Park hosted the 'best Olympic Games ever', and the dedication
of CityRail staff was a major contributor to this success. To enjoy the continuing
sporting events at Sydney Olympic Park, take the Western Line to the heart
of Olympic Park.
