Delivering for Australia Post
Come cruising with us on the Hawkesbury Mail Boat, the famous Riverboat Postman, and enjoy the magnificent scenery of the lower Hawkesbury River as we deliver the mail and other essentials (the odd bottle of whiskey or rum...) to the river-access-only settlements upriver from Brooklyn. We leave the wharf at 10am each weekday except public holidays, regardless of the weather - after all, ‘the mail must get through’!
The first Riverboat Postman started the run in 1910, and the tradition continues today with Hawkesbury Cruises, the current custodian of this fabulous day trip. Our skippers are locals who have lived in the area their whole lives - be entertained by the stories of the river whilst cruising in comfort up this spectacular waterway. Be assured that at least 95% of what they say is true...
Our coffee is real, our tea is hot, and our famous ANZAC biscuits are home-made daily to Grandma's recipe. We’ll give you a pretty fine lunch too!
COVID-19 INFORMATION
Yes, it’s still a thing! Don't forget that all forward bookings are 100% refundable for any reason up to 48hrs prior. You can safely book a future date knowing that you can cancel or change the date if you need to. It’s definitely best to book as far ahead as you can - you can change it as often as necessary. Please, though, let us know if you can’t make it so we have time to call someone from the waiting list.
