little markets in the Hawkesbury . Come for the day , or for the multiple resorts nearby , plus a great range of Airbnb – where daytrippers , weekenders , caravaners & campers are all taking the 4min car ferry ride across the WEBBS CREEK FERRY near Wisemans Ferry and then the 21km sealed & scenic drive alongside the picturesque Macdonald River to historic St Albans . This true farmers market is directly opposite the iconic convict built Settlers Arms Inn and an awesome playground on the banks of the river .
