 | | It is the Nepean River until the Grose River joins it and then it becomes the Hawkesbury - different explorers named the parts of the river as they found them not realising that the Nepean and the Hawkesbury (and the MacDonald) were all the same river. |
 | | Fish living in the Hawkesbury are flathead, bream, mullet, hairtail, mullaway, whiting, flounder, tailer, snapper, trevally, tarwhine, flfish, leatherjackets, kingfish, John Dory and oysters. |
 | | At the mouth of the Hawkesbury River, on the western foreshores of Pittwater, about 20 miles from Sydney there is a small and isolated bay. |
