Wisemans Ferry
Historic crossing point on the Hawkesbury River.
Located 20 km from McGraths Hill and 85 km from the centre of Sydney,Wisemans Ferry is now little more than a small settlement,a few shops and,most importantly,a ferry across the Hawkesbury providing access to St Albans,the Hunter Valley and Gosford.
Wisemans Ferry is not so much a town as a fascinating relic on the banks of the Hawkesbury River. It is a bit of an obstacle course to reach the ferry. The traveller leaves Sydney,passes through the outer suburb of Dural,continues for a seemingly endless distance along a ridge until they drop down to the banks of the Hawkesbury River.
