In 1790 the Hawkesbury River became the lifeline of trade between the farming communities and the struggling colony at Sydney Cove. Trade flourished during the 19th Century and then declined as roads developed. The riverboat postman carries the daily needs to the river population, mail, milk and groceries. You'll spend hours enjoying the life of the river trade and see the wonderful scenery that only the Hawkesbury River can offer. The skipper will provide you with a knowledgeable commentary about historical features.
This popular tour is now operating on a new boat with a new company! Hawkesbury Cruises has warmly welcomed cruisers young and young-at-heart since 2001, specialising in Seniors' travel. Their coffee is real, their tea is hot, and their famous ANZAC biscuits are homemade daily to Grandma's recipe!
