​
Five rivers are interconnected with side arms, streams, beautiful lagoons, and super anchorages, providing scenic beauty that will inspire your visit. The Hawkesbury River is navigable for over 100 kilometers and boasts 1100 kilometers of foreshore fringe. This rich land holds a wealth of heritage, with numerous well-preserved historical buildings still in use and 17 small villages and towns to explore.
Pitt Water is a Ria, a coastal type that is narrow and long, deep into the country, invading seawater bay, a splash by the river, with waters from the Tasman Sea feeding into the Hawkesbury River through smaller inflows. At the coastlines of Pitt Water, a tribe of Australia's native Aborigines once lived in the Guringai. The Hawkesbury has been the food basket for Sydney since colonial times. The Hawkesbury area grows a vast range of produce, including stone fruits, oranges, apples, pecan nuts, berries, and various vegetables, offering a diverse culinary experience. Many of these are for sale at multiple stalls dotted around the roads.
