Take a journey back to the early 1800s when Governor Lachlan Macquarie embarked on a mission to create a safer and stronger future for the settlers of the Hawkesbury region. This self-guided audio tour brings the story of one of his original five towns to life — a place built on high ground with rich soil and a deep sense of community.
Hear how pioneering families turned hardship into opportunity, how vision and determination shaped the landscape, and how echoes of those early days still linger in the quiet streets and open spaces today.
Blending history, storytelling and charm, this tour offers a fascinating insight into Australia's colonial past and the enduring spirit that has defined Wilberforce for over two centuries.
