Join us on this walk around Dangar Island in the Hawkesbury. We will catch the 9.27am train from Hornsby to Brooklyn (Hawkesbury River Station) and then a ferry to Dangar Island. Cost of the ferry is $5.50 concession/$10.90 adult one way. The ferry ride is 30 minutes each way. After a coffee stop, we will explore Dangar Island including a short track in the centre of the island which involves some rock climbing. We then finish with lunch at the Bowling Club (or you can bring your own and eat in the park). Lunch at the Club costs between $20-$30. We then return by ferry back to Brooklyn then catch the train back to Hornsby. Please note there will be a 45-minute wait for the train however Brooklyn has a very good hotel! If you wish to avoid the 45-minute wait for the train you can drive to Brooklyn and catch the ferry. For those catching the train, we will return to Hornsby at 3.30pm. When booking please indicate whether you will be catching the train or driving to Brooklyn.
