Where Eels Lie Down: A Parramatta Tale

From the Aboriginal Burramatta clan to modern day Parramatta this is a tale about the changing face of Australia's second settlement. A place steeped in history, where the sea water meets the freshwater and the Eel's come to rest. From its convict beginnings and Aboriginal interactions to the multinational and cultural diversity of today. Travellers from different worlds have always met here, fought here, and survived here. The residents of Parramatta go about their lives with simple stories that intertwine in a soup bowl of dysfunctional relationships. Normal people are continually caught up in the realities of life. The common place for soul searching and relaxation is the lake, with its tranquil water and peaceful walks. It is a haven for good and evil that melds the nature of heroes, villains and the life of a giant lake bound eel. The lake is far from being a safe place; murder, fear and cruelty have always found a footing here.
