Mortlake Ferry

How good is it to have a slice of history carrying you across the water. I hope the ferry stays active for many years to come.

Great to still have options like this to cross the waters of Sydney.

This is a car ferry. Would be good if it operated all day.

I literally enjoyed this and hope that this stays active for years to come. Don't close Mortlake Ferry, loved it.

Never knew about this ferry but what a view and the operators were so friendly and helpful

Very nice & unique experience and interesting way to cross Parramatta river from Inner west to Greater Ryde. Putney park is right next to the Putney Ferry terminal. Try to be the first 3 if you want to see the views (filming) while crossing, or just ride a bike ;-)

This is a good random thing to do in Sydney, you can walk on or drive on. There are some waterfront walks and parks on either side. If you get the timing right it can be a fast option across the river but more likely I would recommend it only for the novelty.

Convenient trip across. Doesn't run all day during the week. There is a big lunch break

Tired of the snails pace trip across the Ryde Bridge? In peak hours and all day on the weekend, this provides an old-time, leisurely trip across the Parramatta River. Great way to travel and the kids love it!

The only car river crossing ferry left in Sydney harbour. It’s heritage protected and goes from Breakfast Point to Putney and it’s free to cross with your car. Never knew this existed in town.The ferry opened in May 1928 providing residents on the north side of the river transport to and from the factory areas of Mortlake prior to the construction of the Ryde Bridge.There are approximately ten remaining cable ferries like the Mortlake Ferry still in operation in New South Wales. The Mortlake Ferry being the only one still used on Sydney Harbour’s water network.It can carry a maximum of 15 cars at a time. The 300 metre trip takes approximately 5 minutes and can be taken on demand on weekdays during the peak traffic times or approximately every half an hour on the weekends.
