 Penrith Panthers - TheBestLinks.com - Australia, Rugby league, Sydney, 2001, ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Based in Penrith, 60km west of the center of Sydney and at the foot of the Blue Mountains, the Panters were in 1967 admitted to the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) competition, predecessor of the Australian Rugby League (ARL) and the current NRL competition.
Penrith's team colours in the lower grades of earlier years were blue and white but due to those colours being previously registered or already in use by three other teams, upon entry into the NSWRL competition a decision was made to change the colours to Brown and White.
Penrith's uniform colours in the 1966 NSWRL Second Division and earlier years were blue and white but due to the Cronulla-Sutherland side registering a predominantly blue jersey design first, and with Newtown, Canterbury, Eastern Suburbs and Parramatta also displaying various shades of blue, Penrith went in search of an alternative.

 New South Wales   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
New South Wales is Australia’s premier state in more ways than one: it’s not only the oldest of the five states, but it’s the most densely populated too.
Including Sydney, New South Wales covers an area about twice the size of Britain, with roughly a tenth of its population; not a very big state by antipodean standards, but its six and a quarter million residents constitute one-third of the country’s population.
South of Sydney the coast is relatively undeveloped, and there’s a string of low-key family resorts and fishing ports, great for water sports and fishing.

Probably reflecting the belligerence of the convicts pressed into the arduous task of building the road, Penrith’s first official buildings were a court house and a gaol.
