All aboard the Riverboat Postman—Australia’s most scenic mail run! This unique cruise travels along the beautiful lower Hawkesbury River, delivering mail and goods to remote river-access-only communities.

Departing from Brooklyn Wharf at 10am, your journey begins with a relaxing morning tea, including real percolated coffee, hot tea, and delicious homemade ANZAC biscuits, baked fresh to Grandma’s recipe.

As the boat winds through tranquil waterways and past rugged sandstone cliffs, enjoy live commentary from your local skipper, filled with history, humour, and fascinating river stories—at least 95% of which are true!

Around midday, enjoy a hearty Ploughman’s-style lunch served onboard, featuring shaved ham, cheese, pickles, chutney, salad, and a Turkish bread roll. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available on request.

This cruise operates weekdays only, rain or shine—because “the mail must get through!” Your luxury coach will transport you to and from Brooklyn, making this a seamless and scenic day trip.

Whether you’re a local history buff, river lover, or just after a relaxing day out, this tour promises a peaceful cruise, warm hospitality, and wonderful Hawkesbury memories.
