Set in a position to take in the outlook is the magnificent heated rock pool for relaxation. House water is caught and stored in an underground tank of 30,000 litres.
The River
The beautiful Macdonald River At the sweeping bend up against sheer cliffs there is parklike frontage with sandy beach for water sports, swimming, boating. Like fishing? Theyre all here; Bream, Flathead, Perch, Mulloway. Take your tin boat down to the Hawkesbury if you like. There is a 4 knot limit here.
The History
The river is quite navigable and as so, in the old days, river boats passed here en route to St Albans and beyond for produce and supplies. The road North passed through this property via the infamous Books Ferry which was oft subject to accident, stranding at low tide and the occasional sinking. It was replaced by a bridge ultimately. This wasnt well thought out or constructed as not long after it was built, it was swept away in the great flood of 1949. Remnants of the bridge can still be seen.
As one emerged from the ferry and later the bridge, on the hill above was the ruin of St Josephs Church and just below was Whalens Inn; a basic structure but a good stop for many a traveller. The homestead is now located on the original Whalen's Inn site.
Go forward 150 years or so and overlay all that onto the Wonga Point of today.
Summary
In a World where more than ever, there are unknowns, here in a central location is home, workplace, retreat, potential self-sufficiency for you and your friends all so close to town should you need to go there. 90 minutes to CBD
Don't miss this opportunity to secure this historic property.
