Cambridge Park is a Sydney suburb located 53 kilometers west of the Sydney CBD, in the local government area of the City of Penrith and is part of the Greater Western Sydney region.
Prior to European settlement here, the area that is now called Cambridge Park was home to the Mulgoa people. They lived a nomadic lifestyle according to traditional laws stemming from the time they called – Dreamtime. Their homes were bark huts that were called ‘gunyahs’. The Mulgoa people hunted kangaroos and emus for meat, and gathered yams, berries and other edible plants to supplement their diet. After the arrival of the First Fleet in Australia a major outbreak of smallpox decimated the local indigenous community.
