The Hawkesbury River is a scenic, 120-kilometre-long waterway located just northwest of Sydney, New South Wales, flowing from the Blue Mountains foothills into Broken Bay. The key settlement is the riverside village surrounding the Hawkesbury River Station, which sits directly on the water's edge and is the embarkation point for the Brooklyn Ferry Service to Dangar Island and the famous Postie Wharf jetty from which the historic Riverboat Postman mail boat departs daily, navigating the dramatic sandstone cliffs and delivering post and provisions to the river's isolated, water-access-only communities.
