On Parramatta Road preserves Australia’s first highway — a stretch perpetually threatened by change. It is a field study of life on a road considered dead, across car yards, brothels, bed shops, and around 20 suburbs of greater Sydney. Together, they form a living museum of greater Sydney: its affluence, issues, and heritage. Part documentary photography and part road trip, On Parramatta Road restores a sense of journey to a road better known for daily transit.
