About Windsor
Windsor is a historic town located in the Hawkesbury region of New South Wales, situated approximately 50 kilometres northwest of the Sydney central business district. Part of the City of Hawkesbury local government area (postcode 2756), the locality is positioned on the banks of the Hawkesbury River. The landscape is defined by the river’s floodplain, which supports a mix of residential areas, agricultural lands, and riparian zones. The area is home to a diverse population, serving as a regional hub that bridges the transition between Sydney’s outer suburban fringe and the rural scenery of the Blue Mountains foothills.
The town serves as a commercial and administrative centre for the surrounding Hawkesbury district, featuring a well-developed infrastructure of schools, medical facilities, and the Windsor railway station, which connects the locality to the greater Sydney rail network. Life in Windsor is characterized by its blend of traditional high-street retail, local parks, and riverside recreational spaces. As one of the original "Macquarie Towns," Windsor retains a strong historical identity, reflected in its concentrated precinct of colonial-era architecture and heritage-listed buildings, including the St Matthew’s Anglican Church and the Macquarie Arms Hotel, the latter being one of the oldest licensed hotels in Australia.
