Hawkesbury River
Description
The Hawkesbury River flows through the Ku-ring-gai National Park, north of Sydney, into Broken Bay. The national park is famous for the large, figurative engravings in sandstone of the original Darug people. Sheltered sandy beaches and deep-water reaches bordered by sandstone ridges and dense eucalypt forest are key features of the landscape. In 1794, 22 families were granted land at Bardenarang, now known as Pitt Town Bottoms, near Windsor.
