Toongabbie Creek

Toongabbie Creek, an urban watercourse[1] that is part of the Parramatta River catchment, is located in Greater Western Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

After the rain in April 2015, which caused a flood that damaged infrastructure at Parramatta, most of the dead trees were cleaned away and the rocks at Mons Road are now exposed.

The land adjacent to the Parramatta River and its tributaries, including the Toongabbie Creek, was occupied for many thousands of years by the Burramattagal, Toongagal, Wallumattagal, Wangal, and Wategora Aboriginal peoples.

The Dharug peoples lived along the river which was a source of food including mullet, crayfish, shellfish, turtles and plants.

River was the fastest source of transport for both the original tribes occupying the land and also for early Australian colonial history.
