The Hawkesbury River drainage system is over 480 km long.

Near Wallacia it flows into the Nepean which, at its junction with the Grose River south-west of Richmond, becomes the Hawkesbury River. The Hawkesbury then flows on to the Pacific Ocean at Broken Bay. | The Hawkesbury River drainage system is over 480 km long.

But a brand new high rise housing development had been plonked down on the first D-road, and we soon found ourselves back in the airport for another try. This time, once in the country, I consulted an ancient metal compass so we could turn north, and kept following the marked pointer. It was only much later that I discovered the red paint on the north pointer had worn off, leaving me to assume south was north. This didn’t help - and nor did an overcast sky with the sun struggling through in the wrong place. | But a brand new high rise housing development had been plonked down on the first D-road, and we soon found ourselves back in the airport for another try.

The only time I admitted total defeat was in the south of France, where our travel guidebook had waxed lyrical about a pretty, unspoilt village and given directions from the previous village. Neither was signposted - a rare omission in efficient France. By the time I’d worked this out, it was too late. I decided that the canny villagers (possibly English?) had got sick of gawking tourist traffic and using a bit of ruthless French logic, removed the signs altogether. | The only time I admitted total defeat was in the south of France, where our travel guidebook had waxed lyrical about a pretty, unspoilt village and given directions from the previous village.
