Join us for a lighthearted look at the magnificent Hawkesbury River and its more isolated residents as we deliver, on behalf of Australia Post, the mail and other daily essentials (the odd bottle of whiskey/cases of wine...) Our coffee is real, our tea is hot, and our famous ANZAC biscuits are home-made daily to Grandma's recipe! The delivery route covers about 40km of the lower Hawkesbury River.
We travel as far upriver as Marlow Creek, just short of Spencer were the road returns to the river bank. Our stops include Dangar Island, Kangaroo Point, Milson Island and Bar Point on the way up, & Fishermans Point and Milsons passage on the way back. Maps are available on board. This section of the Hawkesbury River you will be exploring marks the dividing line between Sydney and the beautiful Central Coast. This is the last remaining mail boat in operation in Australia, and the journey offers a true "step back in time" experience with its old-school snail-mail delivery service to the locals (and their dogs) who come to meet us on the wharves. Only an hour north of Sydney! The cruise departs daily every weekday except Public Holidays from the Brooklyn Public Wharf at 10am, returning at approximately 1.15pm
Bookings are essential - call: 0400 600 111

They're baaaack....
Thanks to everyone who generously donated.
We've cracked the $10k target!
Overall the rally raised over $2.9million for cancer research!!! Wow!
Wooooohooooo!!!
Thank you.. Thank you..
We've hit our target of $10,000 (and we've still got a day to go)! 💕💕
As it stands the current grand total for the Autumn Sh*tbox Rally 2024 is $2,930,000 and counting! This smashes any previous rally record!!!
All money raised goes to the Cancer Council for research into a cure.
Our team from the Riverboat Postman is nearly home!
Well, we are on our long journey home to NSW after completing the latest Sh*tbox Rally (Adelaide to Perth).
We've had a fantastic time but there is a more serious side to this trip. We've all been touched by cancer, whether it be a friend, rello or the next door neighbour.
We have only 2 more days to hit our team target of $10,000 for cancer research!
We are $400 off our target. If you have contributed over the last 3 weeks - thank you 💕. If you haven't yet but still want to, now's your chance!! (link in comments below)
Thank you, Cath & Justin Sh*tbox Team - Going Postal
Stunning!

We have themed our sh*tbox ($1250 Ford Territory) as "The Claw" out of Toy Story.
Check out our current location:
A couple of the owners of The Riverboat Postman, Justin & Cath, have embarked on The Sh*tbox Rally from Adelaide to Perth via Uluru. The rally raises $$ for vital cancer research thru the Cancer Council.
To those who have already donated, thank you thank you thank you!! For those who are still thinking about it if you could chuck a coupla bucks in our digital bucket (link below) to help us reach our $10k target, that would be truly awesome. 💕💕
We are really pleased to announce that we're taking part in Sh*tbox Rally Autumn 2024! This year, all the teams are driving their sh*tboxes from Adelaide to Perth. Sh*tbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 14th year. Part of...
A great story about one of the many water access only settlements we visit each day here on the Hawkesbury River. (We even managed an honourable mention!)
When I first moved to Sydney I did a day trip to Dangar Island and it blew my mind.

A great little article in the Sydney Morning Herald last week we got a mention in about the "Six of the best winter day trips from Sydney".👍
A cheap, fun river cruise? A taste of different cultures? Sydneysiders are spoiled for affordable school-holiday options.
We cruise on Sundays too!
One of the best times of the year to enjoy the river on the weekend.
Our "Sunday On The Hawkesbury" cruise departs each Sunday from Brooklyn at 11am exploring the lower parts of the Hawkesbury River including Broken Bay & Cowan Creek.

Happy New Year from the crew of The Riverboat Postman 🍾🍾🎉🎉💥💥 After a two year break we finally made it back to Sydney Harbour for our New Year's Eve Cruise. This year marked our 20th year doing NYE on the harbour, and we are already taking bookings for the next one... We're back delivering the mail on the Hawkesbury from Tuesday 3rd January. See you on the river!
Finally a sunny day on the Hawkesbury River!
We are still operating! The mail must get through...
The Upper Hawkesbury River 100km from us is in full flood and we are receiving all that water and debris downriver. We are managing to get to most of the water access only settlements here on the river each day to drop off the mail.
There are lots of spectacular waterfalls flowing in the area. This photo was taken by the Mooney Mooney Rural Fire Service (RFS).
Some of our local water based RFS brigades are out on the river helping out residents impacted by these devastating floods.
***Thursday 30th June is the last day to use your Dine & Discover vouchers!***
You can use your vouchers to book a cruise for any date past 30 June or get a Gift Certificate (conditions apply) to use for a future cruise.
