Riverstone
RIverstone town centre
Riverstone is located within the Blacktown region, 48km from the Sydney Business District. Before the development of many houses at the beginning of the 21st century, Riverstone was only a small, country town. Now, it has 2 public and 3 private schools, 7 churches, a railway station, lots of houses, a thriving industrial area and is known for poultry farming and intensive market gardening.
It became suddenly popular due to a sudden housing boom that has now made it apart of the urban sprawl.
