About DANGAR ISLAND

Dangar Island is a small forested island in the Hawkesbury River, just north of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The island is serviced regularly by a ferry service that departs from Brooklyn, which takes about ten minutes. The Brooklyn ferry is itself adjacent to the CityRail station of Hawkesbury River, The ferry service is in operation 7 days a week.

In contrast to much of the surrounding area, which is designated national park, Dangar Island is relatively heavily inhabited. This was not always so. The island has several tarmaced tracks that have recently been closed off to all but the community fire truck, the council ute and vehicles with special permits.

There are no private cars on the island. At one stage a couple of golf carts were imported, but due to protests from some of the islands residents, they have been phased out. The wheelbarrow is the main method used to haul goods from the ferry. The island has one shop/cafe, and a bowling club for members/visitors which has a bar. The island also has a community hall that supports several community groups, including a children's film workshop and mains water.

Until recently, Dangar's flavour was that of an artists' colony. In recent years, however, the accessibility and charm of the location have meant an explosion in house prices to the point that only the wealthy can now consider purchasing homes there, which many now do as weekend retreats. New building on Dangar also continues, contributing to the changing character of the island.
