Hawkesbury River Boat  by onewing

Hawkesbury River Boat

I have been absent for a few days and I am just filling in the gaps, so no need to comment.

At the moment I am posting photos taken in February while I was doing the FoR challenge.

The photos in this series are of our day out to Patonga where we took the Hawkesbury River boat to Bobbin Head and back again.

This is a photo of the riverboat when we arrived at Bobbin Head.

Most of the people on the trip just sat inside on the lower deck but David, myself and Sharon and Chris (friends of ours) were on the top deck for the journey taking photos along the way.

Even though it drizzled with rain and was rather misty along the trip we didn't get wet because there is a covered roof on the boat. Why some people just sat inside and saw nothing for the whole journey I have no idea. What was the point of their trip I wonder.


Like you I wonder why people would not be out enjoying the views..could they be commuters who do it often?

Every time I go on a ferry or river boat I'm amazed repeople who sit inside reading a book or on their phone

@annied @kjarn Same here. I can't believe it either. No they weren't commuters they all had lunch in the Bobbin Inn and then came back on the ferry. There was a bus trip that day. What a waste of money to out for the day and see nothing but the inside of a boat, the inside of a bus and the inside of a restaurant.. Only one couple stayed at Bobbin Head and they possibly lived there.

As they say in Yorkshire Nowt as queer as folk.

Probably not used lately but I hope it will be used in the future!

We did the Macquarie Harbour cruise in Tasmania and it was cold and it rained the whole trip. Rhoda and I were the only ones on the top deck (no cover) but we did cheat a bit and found that the exhaust vent from downstairs was pumping out hot air so we stayed close to that to stop from freezing to death. LOL

Sounds like a nice way to spend the day

@terryliv Wow you were brave. The day we went on this boat it was a bit wet but at least it was warm.

@maggiemae They were lucky the day we went because there was a bus trip going to Bobbin Head too, but I suppose even if the boat owners only have two or three passengers they still have to do the run.

They sat inside because they were not photographers! Your trip sounds like so much fun with some beautiful sights to see.
