The engine takes a breath, the river answers, and you slide forward beneath the old railway bridge — spray at your feet, the Hawkesbury daring you to open the throttle. This 1.5-hour jet ski safari launches from Brooklyn Marina and threads the estuary: under twin bridges, past the low-slung silhouette of Peat Island, around Milson Island and Bar Point, before pushing upriver toward Spencer.
