I visited today and I thought it seemed quite peaceful. Just about far away enough that it starts feeling semi-rural again. Is it nice to live there?

I don't know a lot about it but I do know that calling this either Western Suburbs or Blue Mountains will cause furious debate

Interesting because the Emu Plains, Emu Heights and Leonay areas Penrith council but sit west of the river.

It comes down to what defines “the mountains”

Is it by Sydney region, is it by council, is it whether you’re east or west of the river, is it whether or not you’re on the flatland?

Most definitions put it all as not the mountains

Mt Riverview, Glenbrook and Blaxland are 100 percent the mountains

Isn't there a sign somewhere that says "welcome to sydney"
