The Riverboat Postman departs 10am weekdays, and returns at 1pm.
Just an hour from Sydney’s CBD, The Riverboat Postman offers the perfect day trip for locals and tourists alike. You can't miss us - we are right next to the train platform at the Hawkesbury River Station, Brooklyn, on Dangar Rd.
If you are coming by train, WE NOW HAVE A LIFT AT THE STATION! It is by far the easiest way to get to Brooklyn, and the trains which arrive from Newcastle at about 9.26am and from Sydney at 9.47am still allow plenty of time to get to the wharf. We usually return at about 1.10pm, in time to catch the 1.24pm train towards Sydney (the next one is 2.24pm if we are late back) and the 1.46pm train north. For timetable information, use www.131500.com. Our station is called Hawkesbury River, and our train from Sydney Central station departs from Platform 12 at 8.45am (always check before you get on!)
If you are coming by car, there is usually enough parking at this time of the day. Parking in Brooklyn is free, some is timed parking (4 hours, which is more than enough as the cruise is just over 3 hours long) and some is untimed. There is limited specified disabled parking beside our shed, and if necessary you can drive right up to the wharf, drop off passengers then park the car. Parking on Sundays is particularly horrible, so come by train if you can.
If you have a GPS in your car, use 'Dangar Road, Brooklyn' as the address.
If not, take the Brooklyn/Mooney Mooney exit off the Freeway, or Pacific Motorway (M1), follow all the signs to Brooklyn (these will bring you over the old Pacific Hwy bridge to the Sydney side of the river) and turn left onto Brooklyn Rd. Go all the way to the end of it and turn left when you can go no further. There we will be!
The office is open from about 9am Monday to Friday in order to collect the mail from Australia Post, and tickets will be available from then right up until boarding time. Please buy your tickets before you board, and don't forget to book before you come!
