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 Dharug Aboriginal history can be experienced throughout the
Hawkesbury Valley.
Just a few
kilometers away from Windsor is the township of
Richmond where there are numerous historical buildings. The Richmond School of Arts is still administered as an
entertainment venue by the same
society established in 1861.
Apart from the historical churches,
post office building and
courthouse, there are a number of Victorian mansions still in their full glory. These can be seen
along March Street,
west Market Street and Windsor Street, most are still
used as private residences.)
