This view in Paremata, (Wellington) shows the Tasman sea to the left and Pauatahanui Inlet to the right. State Highway 1 is just visible in the middle of the picture.
The suburb is located just south of Plimmerton, and derives its name from
the "Parramatta Barracks", which were erected on the north shore
of the Porirua Harbour in about 1846 when the infant government was nervous
about the local Ngati Toa tribe under its great leader Te Rauparaha. The stone
barracks were largely destroyed by an earthquake in 1847.
