From original albumen print collection of World Wide Archive The Hawkesbury River is one of the major rivers of the coastal region of New South Wales, Australia. The Hawkesbury River and its tributaries virtually encircle the metropolitan region of Sydney. In 1788 two expeditions explored the Hawkesbury to the northwest of Sydney and the Nepean River to the southwest. It took about three years to realise they had discovered the same river and given it two different names. It is therefore often referred to as the Hawkesbury-Nepean River with the name change occurring north of Penrith. The Hawkesbury River was used as one of the major transportation routes for transporting food from western Sydney, to the city during the 1800s. Boats and Barges would then wait in the protection of Broken Bay and Pittwater, until favourable weather before making the 14km ocean journey to Sydney. The Hawkesbury River was named by Governor Phillip in June 1789, after Charles Jenkinson, 1st Earl of Liverpool, who at that time was titled Baron Hawkesbury. An obelisk was unveiled in 1939 at Brooklyn to commemorate the naming. In 1794, 22 families were granted land at Bardenarang, now known as Pitt Town Bottoms, near Windsor. In that same year, confrontations between Aboriginal people and settlers broke out.
