The riverboat postie who delivers to hundreds of Hawkesbury residents every day 📬 ⛴ | ABC Australia

Hawkesbury Brothers Justin and Ben Pigneguy run Australia's last riverboat postal service.
Since taking over the business in 2012, they've delivered mail to people living on islands along the Hawkesbury River in NSW every weekday.
It's the last of its kind in Australia, allowing island dwellers to have mail delivered directly to them.
The brothers feel proud to be keeping this heritage service alive after the previous company went into liquidation over 10 years ago.
They deliver, on average, more than 400 items to hundreds of river dwellers every day.
Booze is apparently the most popular delivery. To keep the business viable, the brothers also run a tour while delivering the mail.
