The Riverboat Postman

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’! Our wharf is right beside the Hawkesbury River train station at Brooklyn, on a direct line from the Central Coast.

The first Riverboat Postman started the run around 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!

Bookings are essential as the boats are usually full - book online here https://riverboatpostman.com.au or give us a call. We look forward to seeing you soon for a 'bit of river time.'
