A little over an hour by road or train, 55km north west of Sydney, you'll find the historic Windsor Township. Set on a high bank of the magnificent Haweksbury River, at the foot of the Blue Mountains and surrounding National Parks. In 1810 Governor Lachlan Macquarie established the township of Windsor which was previously known as 'Green Hills'.
Windsor, as a river port, became the lifeline of the early Sydney settlement as the colony's granary. Now, 200 years later, the pioneering spirit of our early settlers, and thousand years of Darug Aboriginal history can be experienced throughout the Hawkesbury Valley. Visit the Hawkesbury Museum of local history and its RAAF display, or many other places of historic significance.
