- Do this on a rainy day!
- Do consider catching the free shuttle to the Parramatta Ferry and boat back to Circular Quay!
- Do plan your trip before you go
Do NOT
- Do NOT go here if you are just looking for food/drink supplies - there are spots in the city for this
- Do NOT go on public holidays - for example, Easter, Christmas etc because the shops will be closed
- Do NOT think that this is far out, it is worth the trip if you love shopping - its a short easy trip
- Do NOT stay in Parramatta past 20:00 hours (8:00pm) - as a tourist - start making your way back via train if you are staying late - and travel near the Guards carriage on the train.
- Do NOT go back via the optional ferry late in the evening, as the ferry service stops after a certain time, use the train.
