Pemulwuy is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Pemulwuy is located 31 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of the City of Holroyd.

History

Pemulwuy is named after the Aboriginal warrior, Pemulwuy, who led attacks on the British troops in the surrounding areas, particularly on the Toongabbie settlement. Pemulwuy is a relatively new suburb, with development beginning in 2004 on the site of an old Boral quarry.

Street names in the suburb include Watkin Tench Parade, named after Captain Watkin Tench, who first saw the Blue Mountains when he stood atop Prospect Hill in 1789.
