The Riverboat Postman is ostensibly a working boat taking mail and provisions to outlying communities some with no road access. It has been turned into a lovely vacation experience pottering along for about 3 hours in a round trip from Brooklyn.
We were treated to snacks and coffee then a handsome ploughman’s lunch. During the trip the skipper kept up a very informative commentary on local geological and historical events affecting the region as well as contemporary comments on what it is to live in these riverside villages.
A very good day out and well worth the journey from Sydney or Newcastle.
Had a very nice 3 hour cruise with 2 relatives visiting from the UK. Boat was nice, commentary pretty informative, food was basic but fine.
A fabulous day - this was our second trip with Riverboat Postman and it didn’t disappoint. The staff are friendly, welcoming and organised (even having binoculars at the ready to check out eagles nests) We thoroughly enjoyed our morning tea and lunch - very fresh and yummy. We caught the 7:40 train from Broadmeadow arrived at Hawkesbury River at 9:20 ( relaxing) a 2 minute walk to the Riverboat - sharing a fantastic day with family from Canada was a definite bonus! Return trip saw us arrive at Broadmeadow - very easy relaxed way to do this experience. Definitely recommend as a relaxing and interesting day out.
We were running late due to heavy traffic so leave early, however the wonderful staff in the office said they would try to wait for us which they did and even parked our car for us,once on board we were welcomed with tea/coffee and a delicious Anzac biscuit.
The trip up the river was great the Captain had a very interesting and informative commentary very humorous typically laconic Aussie humour.The ploughmans lunch was perfect and our bottle of PinoGrigio went down well. Highly recommend for visitors
Went with a friend.Caught the train from Central Coast arrived 1/2 hour early before boarding,(very easy ).The crew onboard are lovely, Food was delicious as was the wine.The Captain was very knowledgable .Very pleasant day good seating and can walk around the boat.CASH only onboard to buy drinks.All Good.👍
Having previously experienced the Riverboat Postman, we couldn’t wait to return for another trip. We were not dissatisfied and enjoyed another pleasant cruise with a scrumptious fish and chip lunch. The crew are so helpful, polite and welcoming. If you want a laid back relaxing day out, then this is for you.
