Copies of the Historic Windsor Guide (print)are available throughout greater Sydney, but you can always pick up a copy in Windsor at shops and cafés, at the Clarendon Visitor Information Centre and the satellite information centre in Windsor -- the Hawkesbury Regional Museum. The centrefold map is great for finding shops and cafes.

"Suburban life" creeps closer and closer - growth and its inevitable change move in on Windsor, yet at this moment in 2011, Windsor retains the charm and individuality of a small historic town. Leafy public parks with picnic tables in Howe Park border the river. A leafy pedestrian mall with specialty shops, cafes and restaurants, bustling retail centres, a regional gallery-library complex and a regional historical museum are situated amidst heritage buildings from Governor Lachlan Macquarie's day. Consequently, contemporary Windsor is a fusion - of the present, the recent past and long long ago, with the ancient river below.

Meander through the many speciality shops on historic George Street, take in the wonderful collection of nineteenth-century relics at the museum, photograph the country's oldest courthouse, or simply fish along the riverbank. Suddenly you find the time for cafés and contemplation, picnics and pubs, or walks with the lingering ghosts of hanged convicts. Windsor is an irreplaceable connection to our past.
