Hawkesbury Regional Museum is located in one of our country’s oldest settlements – the third on mainland Australia after Sydney and Parramatta. Museum entry is free, with a small fee for group guided tours.
Here you can see things you won’t find anywhere else, from the celestial globe that belonged to John Tebbutt, an internationally-renowned astronomer who lived his whole life in the Hawkesbury, to the diary kept by a member of HMAS Hawkesbury during World War II and recording the Japanese surrender. Not to mention that uniquely Hawkesbury creation, the Flabbit.
