Harris Park - Sydney - Australia - Kind of little India

Finding an Indian restaurant or store close to their home might be difficult for many Indians who are living overseas, and some of them actively look for it. There are a select few locations outside of India where you can sample authentic Indian dishes and goods that are frequently sold there. There are a few places in some nations where you can mistakenly think you're in India. "Harris Park," in Paramatta, Sydney, Australia, is one of the areas. Greater Western Sydney's Harris Park area is located in the Australian state of New South Wales. Harris Park is in the City of Parramatta's local government area, 19 kilometers west of Sydney's financial Centre.

The first land grant location, where James Ruse established the viability of self-sufficiency. John Harris, a surgeon who erected the cottage in 1835, followed him. It is outfitted today to give a true sense of the period.

By 1791, Ruse had successfully farmed the 30 acres of land as an experiment in self-sufficiency, demonstrating that a new settler could provide for his family's needs with only modest help in the beginning.

Surgeon John Harris, who paid Ruse £40 for the site in 1793, constructed the Indian-style home there today. It is estimated that it was constructed about 1835. One of Australia's earliest still-existing structures, it is depicted in a sketch and subsequent water color by Conrad Martens from 1837.
