Cooler days and crisp nights signal autumn is here!

Lift your spirits and connect with the autumn transformation as the leaves of the deciduous trees turn red, yellow and bronze.

Generally mid to late April sees the trees change in the higher elevations around Kurrajong, Bilpin, Mt Tomah and Mt Wilson.

As May takes hold, the trees in the lower areas of Richmond, Windsor and Wisemans Ferry begin to display amazing colours – and there’s no better time to rug up, take some photos and go for a walk to enjoy them.

The Hawkesbury's Gardens are certainly worth a visit at this picturesque  time of year!

A well known stretch of road....

We are lucky at the Hawkesbury Visitor Information Centre to be located on Hawkesbury Valley Way.  This road links our two biggest towns - Windsor and Richmond.

This road is home to one of the most  well known and iconic autumn displays. As you pass the RAAF base and drive into Richmond along the Hawkesbury Valley Way you'll see a magnificent avenue of mature London Plane trees.

These trees tower up to 30 metres with some of the trees having trunks over 3 metres in circumference.

They were planted by local Council in 1897 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria's reign.

Originally over 100 were planted, many have been replaced over time as it was a very dry period in their infancy and storms have and an impact on the trees over their life span.
