Hawkesbury Valley Walking Tours - Windsor

All walks start/finish at the pioneers memorial in thompson square.

The walk is divided into two sections. The first section covers points 1 to 13 and will take approximately 75 minutes to complete without stops.

The second section covering points 14 - 29 will take approximately 90 minutes to complete.

Points of Interest in Windsor

Thompson Square is the centre of one of the earliest settled districts in Australia. Its collection of colonial buildings has remained largely intact since being built in the period between 1815 and 1880.

Together, these early Hawkesbury settlers ensured the survival of the colony of NSW. This monument contains plaques listing pioneer families who in 1988 contributed to the cost of erecting this to all Hawkesbury pioneers.

Andrew Thompson arrived in NSW as a convict but after a period of time, during which he was a constable of "Green Hills" he became a rich emancipist land owner and entrepreneur, running a store on land he leased in the Square from 1799. Governor Macquarie made Thompson a magistrate just prior to Thompsons death in 1810.

Richard Fitzgerald, having been transported to NSW as a convict, rose to hold government positions, including superintendent of convicts and works at Windsor. He built the inn and a cottage for his family next door (where the present day Fitzgerald House stands). On his death in 1840 he was one of the Hawkesbury's richest residents.

A plaque on the wall of the hotel, near the Hawkesbury Museum, denotes the height of the great flood of 1867, the greatest flood recorded in the district. The wall to which the plaque is affixed was made of bricks rejected from ST Matthews Church of England is Moses Street.

In 1876 it was sold to George Davies a printer who published the Australian until the 1890's. The building was brought by the now Hawkesbury City Council some years ago and houses the Museum of the Hawkesbury Historical Society. Interesting displays depict materials and lifestyles from the areas past. The museum is also a tourist information centre and is open for the public inspection.

4. The Doctors House

So called because doctors have occupied parts of it since 1876. The site was originally occupied by an inn called The Lord Nelson which was built in 1819. The present building was constructed in 1844 and is one of the finest examples of a colonial terrace building in Australia. Of architectural note are the fanlights above the two main doors, the columns flanking each side of these doorways, the sandstone verandahs, the delicate wrought-iron railings and its bricks, which are ruddy and mellow with age.

5. Number 6 Thompson Square

Built around 1860, this cottage was also restored during the Bicentennial year. Originally it had a high pitched shingle roof.

6. Number 10 Thompson Square

Built in 1856 this largely unaltered building was restored in 1988. It was the residence of Dr Joshua Dowe before becoming a school. The Sate member for Hawkesbury, Brinsley Hall, lived here in the early 1900's.

Subsequently, the building became a maternity hospital, and again a private residence. One of the main features is the delicate wrought iron balustrading and columns, which were quite old fashioned for the period.

7. School of Arts

On the site of the old government store, the Italianate style School of Arts was built in 1861. This was used as a community centre until 1947 when it was sold, and has since been used as a boot factory.

9. North Street Cottages

These houses were built between 1840 an 1860 and provide an excellent example of the streetscape of Windsor in this period. Examples are rare now, partly because many of the central blocks of Windsor were destroyed by fire in 1874. The building on the corner was a former inn, once known as the Courthouse Inn because of its close proximity to the Windsor Courthouse, but known locally as The Swallows Inn. Under the eaves are the nests of the fairy martins who nest here in spring and summer. The building will be recognised by viewers of "A Country Practice" as the surgery of Dr Terrrence Elliot. Number 35 North Street is the inly weatherboard cottage in the row, Numbers 33 and 31 - although two dwellings today - were once a single building and probably another inn. The shingled roof was recently added to resemble the original. Numbers 29 and 27, a cottage of sandstone, brick adds character top the streetscape. The brickwork shows the method of brickmaking during the period: twigs and grass were used as part of the brick which was scorched black during the firing. These bricks were used for all but the most important civic buildings. Numbers 25 and 23 are semi-detached cottages. The roof of these dwellings is a feature commonly known as a jerkin-head roof and it provided shelter for families during times of flood - an important feature, given that the Hawkesbury is prone to regular flooding. Walking down the North Street offers a rural panorama. The area directly in front of you is the site of the first farms in the colony. The buildings of Pitt Town can be seen in the distance. Turn right into Palmer Street. After crossing Pitt Street you pass one of the many turf farms of the area. Continue along Palmer Street and turn left at the letter boxes for...

There are a number of buildings on the site. The first observatory built in 1863 has been demolished. By using a transit instrument, Tebbutt was able to establish local mean time. The second observatory (the circular building) was built in 1874 to accommodate a larger telescope and finally the striking square building was built in 1879.

Tebbutt himself became one of the worlds most accomplished amateur astronomers. He was a "gentleman farmer" who maintained a passion for astronomy. He discovered the "Great Comet of 1861" and "Comet Tebbutt of 1881" as well as many other important meteorological phenomena. In 1873, Tebbutt was elected a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. The International Astronomical Union honoured Tebbutt in 1973, some 57 years after his death, by naming a Luna crater "The Tebbutt Crater". In 1984 he was depicted on the $100 note. The observatories are still owned by his great grandson John Halley Tebbutt. He and his family live in the original home built in 1845. Great grandson Tebbutt has restored the observatories which house items of scientific interest. They are open to the public. Retrace your steps back to Pitt Street and turn left. South Creek will be to your left, along with a panorama of the McGraths Hill lowlands. At the corner of Court Street will be...

11. Windsor Courthouse

Built in 1822, this building was designed by the convict architect Francis Greenway, who is featured on the $10 note. The courthouse was once cement rendered, but this was removed in 1960. The bricks beneath were cleaned to reveal the original brickwork. Further plans exist to expose the delightful internal red cedar joinery. Even the blinds are made of red cedar. Hanging in the public gallery inside the courthouse is a portrait of Governor Macquarie. The picture used to hang above the ,magistrates chair, but during one particularly rowdy public meeting it was damaged when an egg was thrown at the speaker in the courtroom. The painting was taken away, repaired and hung in the public gallery for safety. The courthouse is still in use today and holds interesting records of the colonial era in Windsor. When court is not in session, it is possible to enter the building for an inspection. Nearby in Court Street toward the Police Station is a sign which acknowledges the...

12. Site of the Old Gaol

The gaol was erected in 1859 and demolished in 1936. It was surrounded by high walls, on top of which was broken glass. At the end of Court Street a concrete footpath runs off to the left toward South Creek. Following it you will find...

13. The Tollhouse

The likelihood of flooding of site has made the restoration of the tollhouse very difficult. However it remains an interesting reminder of a past era. A tollhouse was built here in 1814, but the premises collapsed during a flood in 1864. The present building was re-erected on the sandstone foundations in the same year and was used to collect tolls until 1887. The three sided bay window in from t was designed for easy observation of the road. Early charges were one chilling for a four wheeled carriage with two horses. Walk back up the path and cross the road to the police station. In front of you is the...

14. Site of the Guardhouse

These brick foundations belonged to the guardhouse, built around 1830 for the military barracks which had been built in 1818 on the site of the present police station. The foundations were unearthed by roadworks in 1976 and preserved. The guardhouse consisted of three small cells which were used to confine soldiers who had breached military rules and a passageway leading to the guardroom which was entered by a flight of steps from outside. The guardhouse was the gateway to the military barracks. The soldier on duty was responsible for opening and closing the 2.5 metre high gates. The military barracks were surrounded by a 4 metre wall which partly exists today, although much reduced in height. The Barracks were demolished in 1928 to make way for the present police station buildings. At the traffic lights, cross the main road and then walk up the hill to again re-enter Thompson Square. Should you wish to continue, walk along George Street as far as the entrance to the Mall and turn right into Baker Street. Head toward the river and cross the Terrace to follow the path which meanders through the leafy groves beside the river. Between Kable and Fitzgerald Streets are the grounds of...

15. Sunnybrae

Sunnybrae was built in 1875 and today remains in the same family. It is an impressive home set in expansive gardens. A closer view of the home and stables can be obtained by walking up Fitzgerald Street. Directly opposite Sunnybrae is...

16. The Water Tower

Still in use today, the tower was in integral part of the first water supply for Windsor. It was constructed in 1889 and has a capacity of about one million litres. Back on the Terrace, the paved walkway ceases near the concrete tower. Walk across the park following the line of power poles to rejoin the western sector of the Terrace. At the corner of New Street turn left to view...

17. New Street Buildings

Built around 1830, the two cottages at Number 1 and Number 7 have been restored and are well maintained. The Anglican St Matthews Hall was built in 1880 to replace an earlier hall located in George Street, Retrace your steps back to the Terrace and turn left. Built on a large block on your left is...

18. Crescentville

This was once the home of William Walker who was a local politician and lawyer. The house was built in 1851. The coach house and stables give some indication of the wealth of the family. Today, the house remains in the ownership of the same family. Turn into Catherine Street. On the corner of Little Church Street is a charming building...

19. The Bell Inn

Built around 1845, the Bell Inn was operated by John Primrose and continued as an inn untold the impact of the railway took business from the area. The building is in very good condition and shows a typical 8inn of the period. Note the window shutters which are of a solid rather than louvred construction. Also of interest is the front doorway, which is placed on a barrelled corner. This has the effect of making the building "follow round" the corner. It was a commonly used technique on corner shops and inns. Nearby buildings also provide interesting examples of early houses, with some terraces and a duplex being represented. At the end of Little Church Street on the left is...

A delightful complement to St Matthews Anglican church. The Rectory - Georgian in style - was built in 1825 by William Cox to the plan of an unknown architect. William Cox had shortly before built the Windsor Courthouse (see No 10.) and built the first road over the Blue Mountains in 1814. The Rev Samuel Marsden - often referred to as "the flogging parson" - frequently journeyed top Windsor to conduct services in the early days of the colony. In 1838 he died at the rectory while visiting Windsor. His body was taken to Parramatta for burial. A little further along on the right is the grand...

22. St Matthews Anglican Church

Here is the very heart of colonial Hawkesbury. Built at Governor Macquarie's direction on a site selected for that specific purpose, it is one of the most beautiful buildings in Australia. The corner stone was laid by Governor Macquarie in October 1817. The church was consecrated in December 1822 with Samuel Marsden conducting the opening service. It is the masterpiece of Francis Greenway, the convict architect, who was retained by Governor Macquarie to rectify the poor standard of building in the colony. It is one of the few early buildings which is cluttered by its modern surroundings. It can be seen from a great many parts of the Hawkesbury, and is the district's famous landmark. In the 1867 flood it was the chief point of safety for flood victims.

Continue walking past the graveyard and into Claremont Crescent. A narrow laneway ahead will lead you down to the well hidden...

23. Claremont Cottage

Built in the same years as St Matthews, Claremont Cottage has been owned by prominent locals. These include William Cox, Francis Beddeck, the Chaselings family and Philip Charley. The cottage has been restored during the past decade. Retrace your steps to the corner of Moses Street and Claremont Crescent. Turn right into Moses Street and cross the busy Richmond Road. Continue ahead into Cox Street and then turn right into Fairfield Avenue. At the end you will find...

24. Fairfield

Fairfield is a splendid example of high Victoriana. The first part of the house to be built was occupied by William Cox in 1833. William McQuade built the two storey section in the early 1880's. It was designed for entertainment on a large scale and McQuade who was manager of Her Majestys Theatre in Sydney at that time, did it full justice. The grounds included a cricket oval, a pavilion and a private track. Retrace your steps along Fairfield Avenue, cross over Cox Street and walk along Brabyn Street until you reach George Street. Turn left into George Street. A little way along the right is...

25. Number 394 George Street

Built in 1897 as a general store by George Robertson. Its ornate stonework was carved by an immigrant named O'Kelly who apparently enjoyed the sight of his handiwork so much that he bought the house opposite. Continue along George Street, crossing Richmond Street at the lights. There are a number of buildings of interest in George Street. The second building on your right is...

26. Oxalis Cottage

The cottage stands between the Hawkesbury City Council Chambers and the library. It was built by Peter Turner, a Wesleyan missionary. Turner died in the cottage in 1873. His second cottage, which stood adjacent, was demolished. Further along George Street on the right is...

27. Number 312 George Street

The building is often referred to as "Mrs Cope's Cottage" as it was once the home of Maria Cope. It stood on extensive grounds before they were subdivided in 1839. Many houses in the immediate are can therefore be dated in the 1840's One of these is...

This was a former inn built of Georgian style sandstock brocks in 1841. Opposite is number 266 George Street, better known today as...

29. The Windsor Antique Markets

The extensive market is housed in the old Royal Theatre. Continue walking up George Street and you will enter...

30. Windsor Mall

Windsor Mall is a pedestrian precinct which stretches for two blocks through the main commercial centre of Windsor. At the eastern end of the Mall is a waterwheel which symbolises the importance of agriculture to the region and in particular grain crops. These crops were often milled in tidal powered mills. While the tide was rising, water would flow into a reservoir and be held until the miller was ready. As the tide dropped, water would run past a wheel which was linked to a grinding block.

Of particular interest is Loder House, which today houses a restaurant. The home was built in 1834 by George Loder, a member of the influential Windsor district family. After Georges death the house was occupied by Laban White until 1873.

In the later years the building deteriorated and was used as a boarding house. By the 1960's, the building was derelict. Salvation came in the mid 1970's when a three year restoration program was supervised by the then Windsor Shire Council.

As you leave the mall, one block ahead of you will be Thompson Square and the completion of the Windsor Walking Tour.       

The department of Planing and Tourism Hawkesbury Inc hope you have enjoyed your tour of these two historic towns and that you'll return to the Hawkesbury area often.

Windsor: a day exploring the Historic outskirts of Greater Sydney

A self-guided walk in windsor, sydney.

Download the Walking Map

I’m pretty excited about my excursion today. I am venturing to historic Windsor. Situated on the opposite end of the Hawkesbury River to where I live, it will take two hours to get there.

I have a good book to pass the time, but as houses give way to countryside, I drag myself away to appreciate the rural setting. Farm animals and rustic cottages dot the green fields. Vegetables growing in rows alongside the tracks, will one day grace tables in the city.

Stairs and sandstone

Ironwork detail

Heritage walking tracks

Windsor was the third area to be settled by the British after Sydney Cove and Parramatta. I have often thought about visiting this community on the North-western outskirts of Greater Sydney. Four Heritage Walks prepared by the Hawkesbury City Council have given me a plan. I’ll wander and enjoying the day out, more or less following their routes.

Alighting from the train, I make my way along George Street to Thompson Square. Passing the Railway hotel, I can’t help but notice four men in jeans and broad brimmed felt hats sitting in the hotel courtyard nursing a beer. It’s 9:30am.

The houses here are old. Many are weatherboard with brick chimneys projecting from often rusty corrugated iron roofs.

War Memorial

No longer a Theatre

The early morning light reflects off the water as ducks splash in the pond at McQuade Park. A nearby memorial has is a surprising connection to the country of my birth. I recall stumbling across something similar in Parramatta. This obelisk is dedicated to soldiers from the area who lost their lives “in service to the empire in South Africa”. I carefully avoid the rotating sprinkler to read that a trooper died accidentally in the Vaal River in 1901 and another died from Enteric Fever a year later in Zeerust.

Breakfast calls, so I stop at the Lime and Coconut Café for coffee and a delicious haloumi and zucchini stack. The water ski decorating the wall reminds me that the annual Bridge to Bridge Ski race ends here in Windsor. It starts where I live on the Hawkesbury River.

Riverview Shopping Centre

On my way to the Riverview Shopping Centre (the nearest bathroom), the loud roar of an Airforce jet rushes over my head. The Richmond Air Base is close by.

More ironwork

As seen in Windsor Mall

Riverview Centre is like any other shopping mall. Sparkling, clean and lacking in character. Except for a bronze plaque to Governor Macquarie set in the marble-like floor. Then I notice that grey stripes placed in intervals on the floor are in fact a timeline starting with an acknowledgement of the original inhabitants of the land, the Dharug people.

I read that the area was first called Green Hills, that Napoleon allegedly planned to invade the Hawkesbury (which on further reading turns out to have had some substance) and when “the Terror of Windsor”, bushranger George Armstrong was captured. I walk through the mall to check if there really is a river view. River glimpses maybe.

Reminder of Mills of old

Waiting to be played

Windsor pedestrian mall

Wandering through the Windsor pedestrian mall, I look up at the old facades of the two storey buildings. Some are decorated and others indicate the year of their construction. Many date from the early to mid-1800s.

A man, rugged up but shivering from the cold, sits on the cold concrete with a sign asking for help. He tells me that a woman bought him a pie earlier but he wouldn’t say no to a coffee. Hopefully the flat white with three sugars that I buy him will warm him a little.

Thompson Square

I can’t find Thompson Square and wander towards the river past some elegant restored homes to the Hawkesbury Regional Museum. It is small and well set out with interesting local artefacts. An example of the mythical flabbit, a cross between a bird and a rabbit, is on display.

A miniature replica of the General Gordon Paddle steamer (another link to where I live as it plied the Hawkesbury River prior to the railway bridge being built) interests me. I read about the regular flooding of the Hawkesbury and the impact this has had on the district.

Anchor and Pioneer

It turns out that Thompson Square is not the hard-surfaced area surrounded by shops that I was looking for, but the park that I walked past earlier. Convicts were called to work from the nearby Bell-post or whipped at the whipping post. An anchor is a reminder that boats transported much needed supplies from here to Sydney Cove.

A tent provides protection for protestors against the Windsor Bridge being replaced. I cross the controversial bridge and admire the large expansive Hawkesbury River.

Controversial Bridge

Old Cottage

Windsor countryside

Having walked from one end of Windsor to the other along George Street, I find myself in the countryside. The air is crisp and fresh. There are horses in a paddock on my right and a man walking his dog on my left. A car pulls over. The older driver wants to spare me a walk. He tells me that my next stop (the John Tebbutt Observatory ) is closed and is up for sale, but I can still photograph it from outside.

Having been in the family since the early 1800s, it really is the end of an era. Apparently besides discovering two comets, John Tebbutt produced a large body of scientific research.

John Tebutt Observatory

Australia’a oldest courthouse

Walking back past the oldest courthouse in Australia, I think it may also be the prettiest. Wooden benches provide comfortable seating in the newly mown grassed garden. A sign on the wall stating that “Aggressive or violent behaviour will not be tolerated.” contrasts with the peaceful setting.

The Tollhouse (re-erected in 1864 after collapsing due to floods), collected tolls until 1887. I walk under the road bridge. Someone has set up home here. A new looking baby stroller is parked on the edge of the footpath. I hope the child is not homeless too. I follow the path to the Greenhills burial grounds where early convicts are buried.

Windsor Seafood

Macquarie Arms Hotel

Back in George Street, Windsor Seafood is busy despite mixed reviews. The homeless man in the mall has gone. I wander up and down Fitzgerald and Kable streets, spending time photographing the old water tower (built in 1889 and still in use today).

A woman sitting at a bus stop tells me that she prefers the Windsor Shopping precinct to the Riverview Centre which “has very little apart from Real Estate Agents”. She says that the tyres were stolen off their car while they were eating at a local restaurant, so now she prefers to use the bus.

The only Street Art I saw

I take an indirect route back to the station past the now privately owned “Bell Inn”. The veranda is beautifully decorated with white wicker chairs and bits and bobs. I’ve noticed that many churches of the churches in Windsor have been repurposed. One is a bar, another a Thai Restaurant. Some houses have maintained their heritage look, others have been modernised.

Water tower still working

North Street Cottage

Final thoughts on Windsor

I have had a good day. Without reading the extensive notes provided with the Heritage Walks, I have still managed to get a good feel of the place. I missed a walk along the river and other parkland.

And I really need to read more in depth about the buildings. Windsor deserves more than a day to explore. I think I’ll come back and overnight sometime soon.

Great photo’s, Jo

Thanks. I just have to work with the light as it is on the day I visit. Jo

Thanks Jo. I must take a closer look at Windsor some time.

Yes, I wondered if a weekend away would be a good idea. Jo

This looks like a great place to visit, the courthouse building is impressive and I love the detail of the ironwork. Who would have thought to find a monument dedicated to soldiers involved in the Boer war?

I’ve noticed on my suburban walks that there are many Boer War memorials, Bernadette. They sometimes stand alone and other times are near a WW1 and/or WWII memorial.

Another interesting suburb to add to my lengthening list!

Yes..it’s well worth a visit. Joanne

So glad you enjoyed your day in Windsor and thankyou for sharing.

Windsor Historic Town Walk

By 1794 the first 22 European settlers had arrived on the banks of the Hawkesbury River and South Creek. The following years many more families came, and the settlement of Windsor, then called Green Hills, was established.

On 6 December 1810, the town of Windsor was one of five selected by Governor Lachlan Macquarie to provide safe residences and storage of produce for farmers who had already settled on flood prone land on the banks of the Hawkesbury-Nepean River. It was named nostalgically for the township it resembled in England.

Drawn up by surveyors on Macquarie’s personal instructions during January 1811, his plan for Windsor town was a grand, united township with no less than nine cross streets and three to five long parallel streets. Centred around St Matthews Anglican Church and McQuade Park, it encompassed today’s suburbs of Windsor and South Windsor (now divided by the railway line).

Although the plan was for a town of surprisingly modern dimensions, the charm of the old Green Hills township was retained, Today the original settlement may still be seen in the stately public buildings, the river and Thompson Square on the northernmost end of the ridge.

The Hawkesbury River settlement of Windsor may not have a castle of the splendour of England’s royal Windsor fortress, but its colonial history carries much weight in the shaping of the colony of NSW.

Whether you are interested in its European pioneering history or just want to shop for locally handmade jewellery or perhaps sample a colourfully cone-topped ice cream, Windsor has all the ingredients to keep you captivated longer than initially planned.

Even the freshly battered fish and chips are tantalising enough to attract a crowd from different parts of Sydney, despite the fact the Macquarie designated settlement is a good distance inland from the ocean.

Originally settled in 1791 as a food bowl for the colony, Windsor (and its surrounds) was considered the third-oldest place of British settlement on the Australian mainland.

Much of its historic appeal is reflected in the buildings which have survived floods, fires and the general ravages and time, among them the Macquarie Arms Hotel which overlooks leafy Thompson Square, the birthplace of Windsor.

Visit on a Sunday and you can combine a leisurely stroll and family picnic on the riverbank with a bit of shopping at the open market along the Mall.

You may want to extend the visit with a drive across the newly opened bridge linking Windsor with fellow Lachlan Macquarie town Wilberforce.

Generally, the pace around town is slow, as many like it. Here are 10 good reasons to visit Windsor.

1- Discover History At St Matthew’s Anglican Church  

2- visit the hawkesbury regional museum , 3- go for a walk or a ghost tour , 4- discover filming locations for ‘a country practice’ , 5- wander around the sunday market , 6- shop for sweets, 7- buy some ‘guy’ stuff, 8- go for snappa and chips , 9- scream for ice cream , biviano’s, 11- have a pint in the church bar, 12- step back into history at the macquarie arms, windsor, nsw, things to do in windsor.

Not only did Windsor provide a vital food bowl for the early European settlers, but its place in history could not have been possible without the help of convicts who were shipped to our shores as punishment.

One such person was Francis Greenway who designed the impressive 1817 St Matthews Anglican Church , the “Cathedral of the Hawkesbury”.

Greenway, who was the feature on our $5 notes, was sentenced to death in England for forging a financial document, only to have his sentence reduced to 14 years transportation.

England’s loss proved to be Australia’s gain.

On the grounds surrounding the Flemish-style brick church with its familiar square tower – a donation from King George IV – and “walls of crosses”, are the graves of some of the area’s famous pioneers, among them 26 from the First Fleet, 12 marked, 14 unmarked.

Dominating the site is the giant plot where John Tebbutt rests along with 24 of his family members.

Tebbutt’s claim to fame was as an astronomer who was credited with discovering the Great Comet of 1861 from his Windsor observatory which still stands today.

The oldest grave is that of chief magistrate Andrew Thompson who organised barges to reach the settlement from Sydney.

Thompson, who died in 1810, was posthumously recognised by having the centrally located square of the town named in his honour.

Famous explorer William Cox, the first road builder over the Blue Mountains in 1815, is also buried in the graveyard which pre-dates the construction of the church.

Perhaps the best spot to begin a self-guided tour of Windsor is at the Hawkesbury Regional Museum, in the heart of Windsor.

Open six days a week – 10 am till 4 pm Wednesdays to Mondays – the museum is free to visit and is jam-packed with essential information.

The contemporary building also houses a quaint, eye-catching exhibition of Australian memorabilia which shaped the lives of people not only the area but throughout the nation.

At the entry to the exhibition is a taxidermy figure of the mythical flabbit, a cross between a bird and rabbit which was supposedly sighted and photographed in the area and was later found to be a hoax.

It is a quirky exhibit which grabbed the headlines of The Daily Mirror around the same time as the filming of A Country Practice.

Among the popular exhibits to be featured at the museum is Hawkesbury Riverboats, a small collection of replica model boats to have operated on the river over the years, each donated by the late Eric Mitchell who created around 60 models over a period which almost spanned 100 years.

A relatively new exhibition traces the cultural history of food production in the area since the first white settlers planted crops along the river in 1794, saving the infant colony from starvation.

Stretch the legs on a walk along the riverbank or through the heart of town and you will be surprised at what you will discover about Windsor.

For history buffs, there are self-guided walks with maps that trace some of Windsor’s heritage sites.

Organised ghost tours which focus on the “spirits of the Hawkesbury pioneers” can also be booked in advance.

You can almost sense the clip-clop sounds of the horse-drawn carriages as you stroll past such sites as the 1828-opened former post office, St Matthews Anglican Church with its countless historic gravestones and the 1834 opened toll house which was rebuilt in 1887 after the great flood of 1864 and is today overshadowed by a modern bridge.

Down a laneway from the mall is a colourful wall of street art which soon has the cameras or phones snapping away.

Much of Windsor’s colonial roots date back to the early 1800s, but it was not until the 1980s that the riverside settlement and the neighbouring Hawkesbury towns came to prominence on the TV screens, as the exterior locations for the filming of multi Logie award-winning A Country Practice.

Fans have little problem identifying the “Wandin Valley” sites screened in the popular Australia serial, from the “doctor’s surgery” in North Street which, in reality, was once known as at the Court House Inn, Swallows Inn and Peninsula Inn, to the old garage in nearby Pitt Town.

A few strides away is the old courthouse which continues to be in use.

Wandin Valley Hospital was shot at Clare House in Oakville, character Molly’s house was at Maraylya, Windsor High was the local high school while Wandin Valley police station was located along Johnston Street, Pitt Town.

Always a hive of activity on weekends is the Windsor Mall Sunday Market but don’t expect the pace to be quick as potential shoppers stop and inspect the various items on sale at each of the stalls.

Anything from art and craft, fashion items and fresh locally grown produce and locally produced jams and sauces can be bought with buskers sometimes keeping the crowd entertained by performing at certain spots on the short walk through the heart of the historic town.

The street market begins at 9 am with stalls closing around 3 pm.

It is not surprising to find that many of the shoppers are on a walk with their pet dogs on a lead.

Minnie Mouse is popular in Windsor, but not as much as the sweets sold at the aptly named Lollies ‘n’ Stuff store in the mall where staff dress as the famous Disney cartoon character.

A magnet for children and parents and grandparents eager to relive their childhood, this particularly colourful shop has shelves beyond shelves jam-packed with British, American, European, New Zealand and local confectionaries that would be a dentist’s delight.

Don’t be surprised to find sweets from other parts of the globe as the store boasts over 1000 different variety of lollies, more than enough to put a smile on the face of chocolate-loving Willy Wonka.

Open daily, the shop has almost everything from polo mints, musk sticks and sherbet fountains to fudge, walnut whips, and Fry’s chocolates.

In contrast, on the opposite side of the mall and housed inside an old Art Deco building is a store aptly billed Guys Stuff , where over 1000 items are on sale, either from the store or online, for lovers of collectables or memorabilia Items.

Almost everything from pristine model cars and aircraft, and Harley Davidson items to commemorative coin packs and puzzles are on sale along with a range of sporting merchandise – perfect for the pool room or man cave.

Visit Windsor from Thursday and Sunday (between 11 am and 8.30 pm) and chances are you will meet Snappa, a particularly cheeky Australian-born blue and gold macaw who, depending on mood, has plenty to say.

Housed in a large cage near the front door to the award-winning Windsor Seafoods, in George Street, Snappa is the much-loved pet of proprietor Barry Lane who works feverishly with his team to cater for queues of hungry diners.

People have been known to travel as far away as coastal Bondi to sample the finger-licking fish and chips and seafood platters, either on the shaded deck or across the street in historic Thompson Square, the oldest square in Australia to be surrounded by 18th Century Georgian buildings.

“Snappa is a smooth talker who loves to practise new phrases on strangers,” said Barry.

“Ignore his cries though and he is likely to screech disapproval.”

Word has it that Snappa is about 20 years old but has the intellect of a four-year-old child.

Windsor Seafoods is open seven days a week, although Snappa and owner Barry have Mondays to Wednesdays off.

Whether you are young or young at heart, a visit to Windsor is not complete without a call on the ever-popular Windsor Ice Cream Café .

With as many as 40 ice cream flavours and additional gelato and sorbets on the board, it is not surprising guests take their time making a choice.

Almost everything from Mango, Vanilla Choc Fudge and Rum and Raisin to Macadamia Nut, Ginger and Liquorice can be ordered. And particularly popular among the younger guests is the colourful Rainbow delight.

The café is only small, but the generous size of the single cone scoop is eye-boggling – at a price that would surprise even the most budget-conscious customers.

Just ask the café’s Lucy and Mirta (pictured).

The Windsor Ice Cream Café also caters for guests who request gluten or dairy free options as well as offering appetising desserts as pancakes and hot waffles topped with ice cream or maple syrup.

And, yes, coffee and an array of tea options can also be ordered.

10- Dine In A Historic Building 

What makes Windsor special is that some of its historic buildings have been preserved, restored and converted into contemporary eateries.

For a taste of Italy with fresh Australian ingredients, Biviano’s has been a popular spot to dine since owners Anthony and Kylie renovated the 1840 heritage building 16 years ago.

Originally a merchant’s cottage, the building was transformed into what many believe was a doctor’s house before ultimately becoming an Italian restaurant where the warm and friendly décor of the rooms is as enticing as an extensive menu.

Expect to dine on Italian favourite entrees as arancini, calamari and traditional meatballs before tucking into a selection of pasta, risotto, meat, vegetarian or seafood dishes. And tiramisu is a hot number on the dessert menu. 

Housed in what was a majestic bank is 89 Thai, a feature at the front door being the colourfully painted tuk-tuk, a familiar form of budget style three-wheel taxi commonly seen buzzing around the streets of the Thailand capital of Bangkok.

Here you can dine on your favourite, sometimes spicy Thai dishes from salads and soups to curries to stir-fries. 

Plenty of food for thought the next time you visit Windsor.

Far from its original purpose as a church, Windsor’s The Church Bar in Kable Street is a magnet for pizza, schnitzel, and American-style pork rib lovers.

And the extensive list of main courses includes one which befits the location – a chicken dish described as the Holy Grail.

Apart from the dining menu, the bar prides itself on its range of beers, wines and cocktails and often hosts evening live entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays.

The whitewashed building dates from 1869 and closed its doors to the last congregation a few years back.

Significantly, The Church Bar is a popular venue these days for family wedding receptions.

One of the most popular spots for pub nosh and a beer is the historic Macquarie Arms Hotel , a hive of activity on sunny weekends when local bands provide entertainment in the back garden.

This two-storey Georgian building with its eroded sandstone steps dates back to 1815 and is considered mainland Australia’s oldest hotel building, although this has been contested due to the fact that hotel has not had a continuous licence.

In summer, a good spot to dine on schnitzel or steak and chips and a schooner when the relieving north-easterly breeze is blowing is on the second-floor outdoor balcony overlooking Thompson Square.

In winter, the indoor open fires are particularly welcome.

According to the records from the pub, convicts found a way to entertain themselves by smuggling barrels of illegal rum from the Hawkesbury River into the quarters below through the “Rum Smugglers Tunnels”.

Two convict brothers – Richard and Fitzpatrick – were not so lucky in their pursuit of liquid gold when they blew themselves up from chemicals mixed wrongly, consequently dying in the cellar below street level.

Some locals say you can still find their spirits occupying the same cellar area today as the pair lived there.

Little wonder the cellar has been the finishing point for some ghost tours through Windsor.

Maureen, Anne and self thoroughly enjoyed your tour. Thank you. Vivian

Really knew her stuff! A great history lesson .... shame we werent able to go into any of the buildings.

Windsor Ghost Tours is a fabulous spooky night out!! Janice and family are wonderful as the hosts and their knowledge of Windsor and the haunted locations is second to none!! Being able to explore the cellars of the Macquarie Arms Hotel was a real highlight too!! We highly recommend this ghost tour to everyone that would love not only a spooky night out but also would love to learn about the stories and legends behind the people that may have passed on but still wander the streets and haunt the locations they used to live and work in!!

This was not a ghost tour but merely a history tour at night Over the years have been to mediums and in other ghost tours and my recommendation to the guides would be take a spiritualist with you and also include inside some buildings in the tour rather than just standing outside

As Historians the couple had great knowledge but at one point the host said of his only ghostly encounter "maybe it was the wind"

The tour had a large crowd and could have afforded the services of a real medium

Wouldn't recommend if your looking for spiritual encounters

We at Windsor Ghost Tours are sorry that you didn't enjoy the tour.

Not the scariest ghost tour we have been on, but a very enjoyable night time walk around Windsor learning about its history. We got to go down to the basement in the pub, saw historic houses and buildings I had never seen before (and a cemetery I didn't know existed) despite having been to Windsor many times before. Overall, an enjoyable and entertaining evening.

Glad you had a good night. We are always happy to introduce people to parts of the Hawkesbury many people miss. Janice

Discover The Hawkesbury

Open 9am-3pm Anzac Day

• Hawkesbury Towns

Heading west from Windsor through the avenue of mature London Plane trees you will discover the rural town of Richmond. Take the opportunity to relax in historic Richmond Park with its pavilion built in 1883-84, which today serves as a grandstand for sporting functions and events. You may be lucky enough to catch a local game of cricket on the village green.

On Saturday mornings the park is home to the Richmond Good Food Markets where you can sample some of the finest food from the Hawkesbury region. A twin town to Windsor, Richmond beckons you with its sandstone lined streets and all the charm you would expect from a country town. There are cafés offering exceptional hospitality, stores enticing shoppers with decorator pieces, homemade handicrafts, as well as vintage and antique collectables.

Whilst visiting Richmond take the opportunity to admire the town’s many historic homes, churches, cemeteries and commercial buildings; Richmond is another of our towns named by Governor Lachlan Macquarie in December 1810.

If you drive to the end of town through the arbour of trees, you will find Pugh's Lagoon, which is an idyllic spot for picnics and relaxing activities such as photography and bird watching - see black swans, geese, coots, moorhens and their young plus the occasional pelican fishing the lagoon. Seating, shade and toilets are available here and the large grassed areas are ideal for the children to exercise on or to run off some of their excess energy. Disability groups often enjoy this area as it offers shade, water views and tranquility.

Perched on the slopes above the lagoon you will find the historic St Peters Anglican Church (1841). Across the road from the church is the cemetery which was in use by 1811. Margaret Catchpole (1762-1819) is buried here in an unmarked grave. She was a horse thief, convict and a pioneer. She died in 1819 as a free woman after being pardoned in 1814. Her letters describe, as an eyewitness, the Hawkesbury River floods of 1806 and 1809. She worked as a midwife, store keeper and generally helped others.

From Richmond you can drive through the surrounding farmland area with polo fields and visit river farms selling seasonal produce. For the horse enthusiast Hawkesbury Valley Equestrian Centre is now located at nearby Yarramundi. Ride their horses or bring your own - private and group riding lessons provided. Try some recreational cycling in Hawkesbury around the Richmond lowlands and quieter back streets. For the younger riders Ham Common has a shared riding and walking pathway- 4km return. There is an off road circuit of the RAAF Base for the young riders too - 2.8km return - it begins in Percival Street.

Richmond has a train station which suits walking groups heading here. A Richmond self-guided heritage walking tour brochure is available for these groups to help them, or anyone, navigate the town and find the heritage 'goodies'.

For the golf enthusiasts there is the Richmond Golf Club, established in 1897. Richmond Golf Course is believed to be the oldest golf club on its original site in Australia. It has the stunning backdrop of the Blue Mountains and is situated in the heart of historic Richmond.
