Sir Henry Parkes Road

A dull winter afternoon, enlivened by a little brightness from the south-west after several days of gloomy overcast weather. The road was named after Sir Henry Parkes, born at nearby Image] on 27 May 1815, who become Prime Minister of New South Wales, Australia. The road carries much less traffic than it once did since the closure of the level crossing at its north end in the early 2000s shut off its route towards the city centre.
