Hawkesbury River Ferries

Hawkesbury River Ferries

Hawkesbury River Ferries is a ferry and cruise boat operator based at Brooklyn on the Hawkesbury River in the northern suburbs of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The company operates the Dangar Island Ferry and the widely advertised Australia's last Riverboat Postman cruise, as well as other cruises and charters.

The Dangar Island Ferry connects Brooklyn to Dangar Island and Little Wobby Beach, both of which are communities that have no road access, and which rely on river transport. The ferry operates seven days a week and provides an irregular, but roughly hourly, service to Dangar Island, with some services continuing to Little Wobby Beach.[1]

Australia's last Riverboat Postman operates under contract to Australia Post and delivers the mail to isolated homes and communities along the Hawkesbury River between Brooklyn and Spencer. However it also carries passengers, thus providing a 3 to 4 hour long tourist oriented river cruise. The service operates once a day on weekdays only.[2]

Both services depart a wharf in Brooklyn adjacent to the CityRail station of Hawkesbury River.[3]
