💡 Tips
- Parking near the marina fills up very quickly on weekends; consider arriving early or taking the train to Hawkesbury River Station.
- Take the famous Riverboat Postman cruise, which delivers mail to river-access-only settlements.
- You can catch a quick ferry from the marina to Dangar Island, which is a car-free haven.
- Bring mosquito repellent, especially if you are near the water or mangroves at dusk.
- The town is small, so it is best to carry some cash as not all small vendors may accept cards.
