Richmond

Richmond sits on the Hawkesbury River floodplain in New South Wales, where the Blue Mountains rise beyond western Sydney. It is one of the five towns Governor Lachlan Macquarie established in 1810, a planned group intended to serve settlements along the often flood-prone Hawkesbury. Its broad streets still reflect that colonial-era layout, while St Matthew’s Anglican Church, designed by Francis Greenway, stands as a notable early landmark. Richmond is also closely associated with RAAF Base Richmond, an important Australian Air Force facility. See how Richmond fits into the wider Hawkesbury district by browsing webcams nearby.
