Following the railway line once again seems like the best route and so I walk eastward toward
Wentworthville along Wentworth Avenue. Wentworthville, Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains and
Wentworth in far western New South Wales, were named after the Wentworth family. A land grant of
2000 acres (8 kmē) in this area was made in 1810 to D'Arcy Wentworth, the father of William
Wentworth, the famous Australian explorer, barrister, newspaper publisher, politician and landowner.
It was William, who with Blaxland and Lawson made the first official crossing of the Blue Mountains
in 1813. The actual CBD of Wentworthville will mark my entrance into the local government area of
Parramatta.
