Stagecoach service
extended
A Stage coach, with
four horses, has recently commenced running daily between Sydney and
Parramatta, leaving Sydney in the morning and returning in the evening;
while a handsome two horse spring caravan, fitted up for passengers,
leaves Parramatta in the morning and returns in the evening.
These
conveyances were paying so well, that a second caravan was preparing to
run between Sydney and Parramatta daily; a third between Parramatta and
Liverpool, and a stage coach between Parramatta and Windsor; so that now
travellers may proceed by daily stages to all the well settled parts of
the Colony. - The Morning Chronicle 21 June 1824
