Parramatta River Ferry Services
Parramatta River ferry services connect suburbs along the Parramatta River in Sydney with Circular Quay by commuter ferry. The services are numbered F3 and form part of the Sydney Ferries network. History Regular ferry services between Sydney and Parramatta began 2 June 1831, with the first steam ferry named ''Surprise''.

Due to silting and pollution of the river, Sydney Ferries services on the Parramatta River ceased to serve the wharves west of Meadowbank in 1928. Meanwhile, changes in the design of ferries meant that the deep-hulled vessels were unable to go further upstream than the Meadowbank bridge. However, following dredging work and the introduction of the RiverCat catamarans, the State Transit Authority was able to resume services to Rydalmere and Parramatta in December 1993. At one time, the New South Wales Government was keen to make extensive use of ferry transport to Sydney Olympic Park ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
