DetailsSome visitors to Berowra arrived as part of an organised pleasure trip. Some of the most popular were run by Arthur Lubeck, who collected passengers from the Hawkesbury Railway Station and conveyed them to Berowra Waters by boat, giving them a pleasant cruise. Passengers would call at one of the guest houses, now known as Berowra Waters Inn, for a seafood and oyster lunch, before being collected from Berowra Waters by a Corrigan coach, run by Lubeck’s son-in-law Roy Corrigan. Corrigan would then convey passengers back to the railway station, or continue the journey through Dural, finishing at Koala Park!
These were not the only tours organised to Berowra. As early as 1895 cruises were organised on both Berowra and Cowan Creeks, allowing visitors to the area to admire these spectacular waterways. Other pleasure trips were organised by social clubs and organisations, including church groups.KeywordsBerowraBerowra Living History Group
