A celebration of the embedded stories along the waterways of the Hawkesbury River.
Sunday 16 November 2025
Enter into the enthralling sound filled world of the river. Our wonderful story tellers, musicians and singers will take you on an odyssey along the Hawkesbury River on two river cruises to secret locations and forgotten sites.
Pop-up performances departing from Spencer. Floating storyteller and haiku happenings; fabulous fiddlers; shanty singers; Irish harp and singing.
First Voyage 10.00am-12.00pm. $35 (child) $85 (adult) + booking fee
Step aboard for a river journey winding through sandstone cliffs and untold histories. At our first forest site listen to the melodious strains of the Irish harp and stories of Irish women. On the opposite shore join in the rollicking verses of Hawkesbury River sea shanties from up and down the river. Tales from the boatshed takes us to the deliciously dark stories that lie beneath the surface.
Irish Harp Music + Sea Shanties + Boatshed Tales
Second Voyage 11.30am – 1.30pm. $35 (child) $85 (adult) + booking fee
Our boat journey takes us across the river to secret locations. Step ashore where fiddles play and Awen weaves river-tales in voice and song. A lone flute calls us onward, its notes guiding a quiet journey of reflection. Here, write your own haiku — words shaped by wind, water, and impressions of country. Further on, our rogue storyteller awaits on the shoreline with tales both tall and true: murder, mayhem, and the mysteries of the deep. Bring your best self — the river remembers.
Fiddler-Singing Folkies + Haiku Happenings + Rogue Storyteller
Combined Tickets for Both Voyages 10.00am – 1.30pm. $60 (child) $150 (adult) + booking fee
