Enjoy Murder and Mayhem Stories \u2013 reimagining the Spencer of the 1800s when \u2018Fernleigh\u2019 was the site of illegal distilleries. Relax on the veranda of the White House and gaze out across the river while our storyteller evokes the atmosphere of this busy trading hub with its mix of free settlers, ticket-of-leave men, timber workers, ash burners and fishermen fuelled by \u2018Hawkesbury Juice\u2019 and insubordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All aboard a River Cruise on a trip into the past. Meander to ‘Gentlemans Halt’ (reputed location of Governor Philip’s overnight stay in 1789), hear about the attack by indigenous leader Branch Jack and his gang in 1804 and past the site of the Green Man Inn. Enjoy stories about Ma Hanna’s boatshed (the last boatshed accommodation on the river) and Curly Kneebones shipyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join a mystery tour of Spencer Village with yarns – improbable, fabulous and surprisingly true! From the forgotten histories of the floating store boats; to rum and resistance; illicit couplings and secret babies. Hear the latest at the local pub The Dunkirk Hotel and anecdotes from the Hub of the Universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explore history at the Hawkesbury Duck museum and chat with Peter Rush as he resculpts ‘Serenity’.
