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''. Early ferry services between Sydney Cove and Parramatta used paddle steamers.

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] |
