History Events in Spencer

Explore Mill Creek & Finch's Line with an expert history teller. Chain gangs + floating stores + tidal mills. Starting with a colonial brew. Join our expert heritage guide to hear the remarkable stories of food on the Lower Hawkesbury River - from the Singleton's 1820's tidal mill at Mill Creek, Gunderman to cabbage tree huts, wheat and maize production and the early barter systems. Drawing from historical records and the diaries of Mrs Sarah Felton Mathews we walk and evoke the past. We visit the route hacked out by the No 3 iron gang in 1827-1832 - one of Gov. Darling's 'Great Roads' at Finch's Line - now part of a joint World Heritage listing and finish at the enchanted bend of the Hawkesbury River known as Trollops Reach.
