Historic Windsor at the heart of Hawkesbury Valley, NSW

Historic Windsor was a Macquarie town (the first NSW governor) in 1810. It remains a quaint small town with lavish display of traditional and modern wares in the shops and street stalls.

Cow hide comes in different sizes, prints, texture and finishes. The leather goods are soft, light and inexpensive.



The kids (and young at heart adults) would love this lolly shop, redolent with sweet aroma, rainbow colours and temptations.

Windsor Mall Craft Market

Opens every Sunday from 9 am in Windsor Mall, George Street. Quality handmade homewares, arts, crafts, fashion and fresh produce for you to browse and pick up some souvenir to bring home. A beautiful setting for locals and tourists. There is wheelchair friendly access, public seats for resting and picnics and ample street and shopping centre parking.

Turkish Gozleme

Olives galore

Familiar tunes played by musicians add to the festive mood.

Best Fish and Chips in Sydney metro area?

I heard from a friend that Windsor has the best fish and chips in town. So this weekend, we decided to check it out with no inkling of the name of the eatery and address. Based on some googled results and whereis directions, we found it after a casual stroll in the mall area. It is opposite the pub and park, quite close to the end of mall area along George Street (accessible from Macquarie Street via Fitzgerald Street).

The battered deep sea platter which is larger and costs almost one and half times that of the seafood platter is the tastier of the two. One large platter could easily feed three to four adults. The verdict : the seafood is fresh and nicely fried but not fantastic given the price and long wait. The chips are thick and limpy. We must try the fresh oysters and the hot n cold platter if we visit Windsor again.

Horse and Carriage

Look again - it's actually a restaurant. Wonder if diners have to pay for the two riders who ensure that the horses remain stationary.
