Penrith Valley Heritage Drive

Take a drive through the historic Penrith Valley and walk in the footsteps of our pioneering settlers.

The Penrith Valley Heritage Drive covers both urban and rural areas and includes heritage sites from St Marys, Penrith, Castlereagh, Emu Plains and Mulgoa.

Built in 1883 the Emu Plains Railway Station is a substantial three story building constructed of bricks and sandstone.

Emu Plains Station was known as the gateway to the Blue Mountains and played a central role in the expansion of the Nepean area.

This building replaced a smaller station that was completed in 1868 located west of Old Bathurst Road.
