Description: Take a step back in time and experience the traditional river life. Guide over glassy waters aboard one of our traditional Timer Ferries. Travel along one of the longest rivers on Australia’s east coast. The Riverboat Postman has been providing an essential service to river communities since 1910. In 1790 the Hawkesbury River became the lifeline of trade between the farming communities and the struggling colony of Sydney. Trade flourished and then declined during the 19th century. Still today the river is a vital link to unique water access only settlements. The Riverboat Postman provides the daily needs to the residents including Mail, milk, groceries and newspapers. Sit back relax and enjoy – absorbing the wonderful scenery as the Skippers provide you with a unique, knowledgeable commentary on various river features such as “Tumbledown” and the “Blotto Grotto”.
