Our property contains the first road in and out of Colo - the original road is supported by hand built dry rock walls some of which are over 3 m high. Often referred to as convict built, but more likely built by freemen who were former convicts.  The property housed the load master's residence who controlled the cargo boats that docked to collect the valley’s produce. This was then transported back down the Colo River which flows into the Hawkesbury river and leads to Broken Bay following the coastline down to Old Sydney Town. The beach diagonally across the river was landed upon by members of the First Fleet’s exploratory scouting party on the lookout for quality farm land - some of which is still in production today.  Our property is on the uppermost reach of freshwater but with tidal influence. This deep water allows swimming and canoeing all year round. Our property is adjacent to the only council built canoe launching facilities on the Colo River.

Awesome host, campsite ok but with a very rudimentary toilet. Even managed to snag some fresh brownies! We lucked out and had hoons doing burnouts at 2am for an hour on the road next to camp. Luck of the draw I suppose!

Wonderful Campsite
This campsite was nice, flat and quiet. Steve came by twice to help us with wood and to pass us a box of brownies. We had a lovely chat around the campfire. Would 100% recommend for a quick getaway not far from the city.
