| Getting There |
From Sydney Getting to Bandusia can be an adventure too! Follow the instructions and you cannot go wrong. Firstly pick your route to get to Wiseman's Ferry either via Dural or via Windsor or Pitt Town. From the city or North Shore, consider Epping Road and then on to the M2. Then take the Pennant Hills Road exit turning right. Take a left into Castle Hill Road and a right into New Line Road and carry on to Old Northern Road and Dural. It is then a direct run of 38 kms to Wiseman's Ferry. Cross the Hawkesbury River on the "Webb Creek" car ferry, drive off and head up St Albans Road and exactly 22 kms later you will arrive at the St Albans village. You can enter the village by turning right over the Macdonald River bridge. To get to Bandusia Retreat, DO NOT turn right at the bridge but carry on up the "Branch Road" signposted as Upper Macdonald Road and 10.5 kms you are at our doorstep. The scenery is positively captivating as you pass through on of Australia's oldest farming valleys. Remember to watch your trip meter. En route from the bridge at St Albans and 7.3 kms on, you will cross a concrete bridge and hit a T-junction where you must turn left! Carry on past the pecan farm and we will see you at the Retreat on your right after the last 3 kms. Elapsed driving time from the centre of Sydney is usually 2 hours on a Friday afternoon. |

| Things To Do |
Bring your bikes, your runners and your hiking boots and of course swimming togs are a must. Enjoy the scenery and the fresh air with walks along the river, in the pecans or if you have the energy, try a steep mountain trek to the top of the Macdonald Ranges. You will be rewarded with spectacular views across the valley. The Art Gallery in St Albans Village is a popular attraction as is the Settlers Arms pub which dates back to 1836 and is one of Australia's oldest operating inns. Great for a beer and a yarn with the locals, the village is just 10 minutes from Bandusia. Horse Riding is available nearby at our farm stay property, First Farm. Book in early for a formal riding lesson, horse handling experiences or to ride out with experienced instructors into the many trails that give St Albans the reputation of one of the best riding locations in NSW. Rates start from $66 per person per session. St Albans is home to the world's longest horse race, The Shazada, which is held every August over 5 days and 400 kms. Historic Sites abound including the convict built Great Northern Road, First Farm 1820 with its convict grave yard and stone cottage. Much of our earliest history can be uncovered with a visit to the many historic locations in the Macdonald Valley. Our library contains numerous books and maps to help you uncover these attractions and plan your daily itineraries. Golf is always nearby to various standards. |
