Waiting for the Ferry

The ferry services on Sydney Harbour tell a tale of entrepreneurs, master shipbuilders, the urban development of Sydney and even the tragedy of war. Above all else, however, the story of the ferries is the journey itself.’ 

In Waiting for the Ferry, historians Bill Allen and John Mathieson provide a pictorial history of Sydney Ferries – from the very first rowing boats to the latest Emerald class. With over 200 pages and more than 500 pictures, this book explores the vast transformation of Sydney Ferries. Copies of the book can be purchased. PB 216
