@ajsadauskas.pixelfed.social.ap.brid.gySome more photos of the outside of the Parramatta Female Factory, this time the main courtyard. Along with being a convict forced labour facility, it was later used to house homeless and incarcerated girls, roughly half of whom were Aboriginal.
@ajsadauskas.pixelfed.social.ap.brid.gyThe Parramatta Female Factory was basically a forced labour facility in early colonial Australia. Convict women who were deported from Britain were forced to make cloth. Photos taken during Parramatta Open 2026.

@ajsadauskas.pixelfed.social.ap.brid.gyThe prestigious Catholic private girls school Our Lady of Mercy opened up some of its historic buildings to the public during Parramatta Open, including the Brigid Shelly Building.

@ajsadauskas.pixelfed.social.ap.brid.gyAnother landmark I'd passed a hundred times but had never been inside. The Leigh Memorial Uniting Church hosted a Fijian choir performance during Parramatta Open.

@ajsadauskas.pixelfed.social.ap.brid.gyThe Parramatta Trial Courts was perhaps the most interesting building I saw at Parramatta Open. The jury room, court room, and holding cells were all open to the public. Unfortunately, there's a strict no photos rule inside...
@globalvisibility.bsky.social@ajsadauskas.pixelfed.social.ap.brid.gyNext to George Salter's cottage is a second historic site that was open during Parramatta Open: The Parramatta Park groundskeeper's cottage. It's thankfully in much better shape, and has beautiful wallpaper on the top third of the wall.

@phillipdumoulin.bsky.socialBird buddies? A Darter thinks not. It seems annoyed sharing a perch with, probably buddies, a Pied Little Cormorant and a Little Black Cormorant. #birds #birdoftheday #birdbuddies #darter #cormorants #parramatta #river #dharug #waterbirds

@ajsadauskas.pixelfed.social.ap.brid.gyThis weekend, there was a charity rubber duck race in Parramatta.
For a small fee, you could buy a rubber duck, which kids could decorate. All the ducks were tossed in the river, and if yours floated the furthest, you won a prize.
