The Hawkesbury River, just 45 minutes drive from the City Centre is a step back in time to the days of quaint river side settlements, farmlands, unspoilt natural beauty and a flowing, winding river that starts as a salty ocean offspring and finishes as a fresh water estuary.

Lion Island rising 93 meters above sea level is just off Palm Beach and lies guard to the entrance of Broken Bay at the mouth of the mighty Hawkesbury River From crystal clear ocean swells to its tranquil upper reaches the Hawkesbury River offers a cruising ground of outstanding scenic and historic interest. Sandy beaches fringe the surrounding Hawkesbury Sandstone National Parks beckoning bushwalks and picnics ashore. Waterfront restaurants, houses on the water's edge, fishing, watersports and holidaying is what this river is well known for.

An ideal location for a relaxing time spent on a comfortable houseboat or luxury cruiser
