I like the fact that the Hawkesbury Independent is privately owned and not the product of a large publishing house that has their head office miles from its intended audience. Its locally owned and run and I love that.

If we want results we advertise in the Hawkesbury Independent as we are always guaranteed results. It has never let us down in the last 4 years. It is the type of publication that hangs around for more than a day and actually has interesting things to read.
