22.01.2022 Thanks for the pics Beverley! So nice to see you enjoying your last trip with us. We look forward to hosting you again in a few weeks time. :)

21.01.2022 Thank you so much for your organisation yesterday. Everything went so smoothly even with that awful weather. The boat was a perfect size for the group. Lots of compliments about the crew. Ben timed everything perfectly, regards Lynne Lovely feedback from our cruise on 19/06/2018

20.01.2022 This was our wharf and office at about 9pm last night. In the morning inside the office there was evidence of water a metre up the wall! Luckily we had put everything off the floor on the desks, unlike last time.... This photo was shot by local photographer Matt Barros.

18.01.2022 All the waterfalls are flowing on the Hawkesbury River after all that rain! The Cacade Gully Waterfall next to the historic wreck of HMAS Parramatta 1. This photo was taken on the Riverboat Postman run today.

18.01.2022 About 17 years ago I did the Postman Run, but on last Wednesday 30th May I took a group of my fellow swimmers on board, and how impressed was I and the whole group with the Boat, the Crew, the service, the meal and the commentary was second to none. Well done to all who made the day so enjoyable. I will be back & so will the others. Thanks again, Pat Lovely feedback from our cruise on 30/05/18

18.01.2022 Normal road based Posties have to deal with dogs snapping at their heals when delivering the mail. Water based Posties have a similar problem if you fall into the Hawkesbury River! Zoom in and you'll see what I mean......

17.01.2022 This is Brian Manning. His first trip on The Riverboat Postman was in 1936. He guesstimates that he has done the trip 100's of times visiting the small settlement of Pumpkin Creek on weekends in the 1930's and 40's with his parents. We get a lot passengers revisiting childhood memories on the Hawkesbury but Brian is the earliest so far!

16.01.2022 Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all the crew at The Riverboat Postman!

16.01.2022 Come and join us at the Teahouse in Brooklyn for the book launch for The Riverboat Postman children's book written and illustrated by a couple of the locals here on the river!

13.01.2022 Please support your local RFS. If you are in the area come for a sundower cruise on Sunday 19th January. All proceeds will go directly to our local RFS Brigades. See you there!!

09.01.2022 This is the new way to organise express international delivery here on the Hawkesbury River! Just get your shipping container to fall off the back of a ship and let the tide bring it in....there are 3 of these floating around the river so far. I wonder what's inside...

06.01.2022 Hello folks just wanted to say thank you for yesterday’s cruise. My wife & I had a ball and your staff were fantastic - thank you! Kind words from Michael who cruised with us on 26/6/18

05.01.2022 After five long months we think enough is enough! It’s time to refloat the boats, and September is the month. Thank you all for your patience, your ongoing good wishes and your emails and calls asking when you can get a bit of river time again NOW, is the answer! We’ll tell you all about it when you come, but we haven’t been idle all this time.The fab crew have been delivering the mail in a tinny, rain, hail or shine, and some of those days have been windy as well. Not so m...uch fun when the locals discovered Dan Murphy’s online and started ordering by the pallet So give us a call or book online anytime soon - we are really looking forward to welcoming you on board. For bookings and information : Visit our website - www.riverboatpostman.com.au Call us - 0400 600 111

04.01.2022 Thanks again for the lovely outing on Monday. The weather was great and the commentary even better. We all really enjoyed it. Edgar Kind words after our cruise on 25/6/18

03.01.2022 CONGRATULATIONS to 2083 residents - you raised a ridiculously grand total of $22,271.10 for our local 2083 RFS brigades!! The donations from just about EVERY business located within 2083 as well as many generous individuals from local, interstate as well as far away as Germany made for a great auction & raffle as well as a very successful bar, and the cruise was a noisy & joyous affair with about 140 on board. With no IOUs, the funds were handed over the next day and will be divided equally between the RFS brigades of Brooklyn, Mooney Mooney, Dangar Island & Milsons Passage so they can buy the things they actually need immediately. We are so proud to have been involved! Thank you.

03.01.2022 Biggest tide of the year flooded the car park and made our office an island for a few hours!

03.01.2022 Lovely feedback from last Sunday’s cruise: We so enjoyed the cruise it was a perfect day. Thanks for your concern about our friend being unwell. Good news he is getting better so this may be the excuse we are looking for to repeat the trip!! Daniel & Jeanie If you’d like to experience the trip for yourself - we still have a few spots this weekend and the weather will be absolutely glorious!!

01.01.2022 Thanks for having the Sullivan/Singleton bunch on your Sunday fish and chip cruise. We had a great crew and weather. Everyone enjoyed the day. Great place to catchup with rellos we haven’t seen for a while. Randall was fab on the commentary too. Thoroughly recommend it. Kind words after our Sunday cruise on 1/7/18, thanks Guy!

01.01.2022 What better way to have a heritage day than a combined rail and Hawkesbury River experience! Join us on Sunday 8th of March and arrive at our wharf in style via The Hawkesbury River Express from Central, run by East Coast Heritage Rail (Formerly 3801 Limited). For bookings and information visit www.echr.com.au or call 1300 653 801. See you on board!

01.01.2022 Yet another really big tide (2.07m) cut our office and wharf off from the rest of the world. Some passengers had to remove shoes and socks then wade through the water to get to us!

01.01.2022 Thank you to all the intrepid souls still travelling with us and helping us to survive this crazy time. As you can see there is plenty of mail to be delivered, hopefully this is the only case of Corona we will see here on the river..
