Getting To Berowra

About

DetailsThe tourist trade in Berowra revolved around the railway station. Berowra Village sits between the two beautiful creeks, Cowan and Berowra and the railway station was perfectly situated to allow visitors to explore and enjoy either, or indeed both. Droves of visitors arrived by train, especially in the era before cars became the common mode of transport. In these early years, many chose to walk to Waratah Bay and enjoy the extensive facilities provided by Windybanks.

Berowra was also situated along the main road North, Peats Ferry Road which ran adjacent to the railway, and when cars became more common, many came by road, especially after the Harbour Bridge opened up the North of the harbour to city residents in 1932. There were even local facilities allowing visitors to garage their car safely whilst on holidays.

Both the road and railway journeys were lauded as beautiful trips, which were included in newspaper articles of the day. The section near The Hawkesbury River, including the Berowra Ridge was particularly famed. Last edited by: Neil Chippendale
