It&#39;s a reference to a local baker named William Francis King, who used to sell pies to people boarding the ferry to Parra at Sydney&#39;s Circular Quay in the 1870s.<br/><br/><br/><br/>After the ferry left, Mr King reputedly packed up his pie cart, then ran the 30-odd kilometres to Parramatta by foot. He would then set up his cart at Parramatta Wharf in time to sell more pies to passengers as they disembarked the ferry.<br/><br/><br/><br/>The other side of the bus is inscribed with the name &#34;Rosie Bint Broheen&#34;. In 1922, Rosie became the first Lebanese woman to buy land in Parramatta.<br/><br/><br/><br/>The sculpture also includes some hidden messages, in reference to the Parramatta Industrial School for Girls, which was a notorious children&#39;s welfare institution that operated from 1887-1974. It was home to many members of the Stolen Generations.<br/><br/><br/><br/>#history #Parramatta #urbanism #art #UrbanArt #Australia #StreetArt #sculpture #NRL<br/> <img src="https://pxscdn.com/public/m/_v2/497320953934828736/549719332-a3f277/RxcVToUF8UQf/qL8vgksD7wfeCpmB3Bi2u856JsgEZDArkV4nu90X.jpg"> <br/> 2025-03-26T07:08:44Z
