We had planned to do the Postman Cruise for years, & We certainly were not disappointed. The Historic & current commentary of Islands & Inhabitants was educational. The great scenery made for an excellent day, & Morning Tea with Yummy Anzac Biscuits & Ploughman's Lunch was excellent. Great friendly service. Bob & Sandra - West Pennant Hills. More

That was on the negative side. The positive was excellent tour around the waterways, with lots to see, lovely little waterside cottages, some... More

If arriving by train, the wharf is 50 metres from the railway station but there are many steps to the pedestrian bridge over the Sydney-bound rail track. The pace on the boat is relaxed. It is...

I always take my visitng friends and relatives on the Riverboat Postman. It leaves from Brooklyn and travels around the Hawkesbury river delivering mail and goods to the riverside communities.
