What People Are Saying
“Delightful cruise along the Hawkesbury River from Brooklyn
“The Riverboat Postman is ostensibly a working boat taking mail and provisions to outlying communities some with no road access. It has been turned into a lovely vacation experience pottering along for about 3 hours in a round trip from Brooklyn.
We were treated to snacks and coffee then a handsome ploughman’s lunch. During the trip the skipper kept up a very informative commentary on local geological and historical events affecting the region as well as contemporary comments on what it is to live in these riverside villages.
A very good day out and well worth the journey from Sydney or Newcastle.”
– Crispin N, London
“This is a wonderful experience in a beautiful part of the world. Friendly staff, good lunch and terrific commentary. The Hawkesbury River is a real gem and is an important part of the Indigenous and colonial history of Australia.”
– Janet Sta, Sydney
“Riverboat Postman, an excellent day out
“The first time we tried to book on this excursion it was booked out, so the next time I booked two months ahead, now I know why it gets booked out, even on a Monday…The overall experience was one of feeling looked after from the moment of boarding to disembarkation. Highly recommended..”
