Hawkesbury River

The Hawkesbury River is a picturesque waterway that stretches for over 120 kilometers through the central coast of New South Wales, flowing into the Pacific Ocean. It’s renowned for its serene beauty, with lush landscapes and small islands scattered along its course. The river holds historical significance and is known for its tranquil environment, making it a popular destination for boating and fishing. The Hawkesbury River Bridge, which connects the northern and southern parts of the region, is an iconic structure. Opened in 1946, this vital bridge spans the river near Brooklyn, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and waters. It’s a key point of access for travellers, providing a scenic route through the heart of the Hawkesbury area.

Hunter Valley Private Day tour

It was a lovely tour. Ranki was very knowledgeable about the wines and the wineries in the area, and we enjoyed each winery we visited. The problem was the car was too small for four people. There was not nearly enough leg room. And the 2 hour drive home was miserable. It would be fine for 2 or even 3 people.
