Free***BOOKINGS WITH PMEA ARE NOW CLOSED****
Should PMEA members still be interested in coming, please call direct to enquire about availability with Catherine on 0400 600 111.
Come cruising with PMEA on the Hawkesbury Mail Boat, the famous Riverboat Postman, and enjoy the magnificent scenery of the lower Hawkesbury River as the mail and other essentials is delivered to the river-access-only settlements upriver from Brooklyn. We leave the wharf at 10am each weekday, 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!
