Pitt Town

Pitt Town is the name of the town we are. It is about 10kms from Windsor only an hour from Sydney.
Windsor full of convict history as with all this area. We had a drive to Wisemans Ferry which has a lovely old pub made by the convicts in sandstone. This area was a big vegetable growing area along the river flats, but alas, no money in cabbages so the big agriculture in Pitt Town area is turf farming.. Acres of them.. One right next door to us. They irrigate from the river. The long weekend starts and there are huge Naval celebrations in the harbour with tall ships and warships. A busy place. Fireworks sat night .Hawkesbury is a very very popular water ski area. We drove back from Wisemans Ferry ( it is the name of the town but there are ferry crossing too) along the lovely windy river road. We are surprised by the number of really really large houses and gardens in this area. Most of which seem to be on small acreage without livestock or agriculture. Beautiful scenery overlooking the river. It is big looks deep and many many ski parks members only. The ski boats very slick . Smart black canvas coverings then brightly painted boats. We re sitting here in the shade after lunch. This little park will be full, so much activity before all the guests arrive. Ride on john deere lawn mower buzzing about.cabins being cleaned, leaves raked toilets cleaned. And the place is filling, the boats have started and now we are grateful to be off the riverfront coz the engines buzz really loudly. All good fun . there are 30 permanent residents here in a variety of " houses" one is 2 Dongas together. Like the fly in fly out sleep in. They have five children and pay $350 per week.
