Information AboutDangar Island |
|
While the island's population are served by several tarmaced tracks, there are no cars on the island. In recent years a couple of Golf Cart s have been imported, but the prevalent wheeled vehicle is still the Wheelbarrow used to haul goods from the ferry. There is a regular ferry from Brooklyn , which takes about ten minutes. The Brooklyn ferry is itself adjacent to the Cityrail station of Hawkesbury River , meaning that in fact Dangar is more easily and quickly accessaible by public transport than most of the Sydney region. The island has one shop/café, and a members-only club for residents which has a bar. 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. EXTERNAL LINKS |
