Summary
Weather for Homebush

Homebush is an inner western Sydney suburb located just 15km from the Sydney CBD, in the local government area of Strathfield.

Homebush was established in the 1800s by the colony's then assistant surgeon D'arcy Wentworth. According to local government historian Michael Jones, "Wentworth is popularly credited with having called the area after his 'home in the bush', although Homebush is also a place in Kent."

A more logical origin of the name is to be found in the history of droving cattle and sheep to Sydney's major saleyards, which were located at what is now Flemington markets, also known as Homebush West. Drovers would camp in what was then a pastured terrain at the end of their long journey through 'the bush' and may thus have adopted the name 'home bush'.
