HILLS, HAWKESBURY AND RIVERLANDS

Hills, Hawkesbury and Riverlands

An area is a unique and contrasting region featuring National Parks, farmland, rivers, mountains, valleys, rural and cosmopolitan centres as well as Aboriginal and Australian heritage.

Entry to the area is less than a forty-minute drive from the Sydney Central Business District. One of its biggest drawcards is the majestic Hawkesbury River which winds its way through the region out to sea, just north of Palm Beach.

Extending from Mount Tomah in the west to St Albans and Brooklyn in the north to western Sydney in the south the region is great for a short break or family getaway.
