Everything about Parramatta Ferry Wharf Sydney totally explained
Parramatta Ferry Wharf is the commuter
wharf serving the city of
Parramatta in
Sydney Australia. It serves the Parramatta route, which operates express between the next wharf downstream, Rydalmere and
Circular Quay. It is the furthest point of travel for all
Sydney Ferries routes from Circular Quay, being next to the weir at Parramatta which would prevent travel further upstream.
History
There has been a wharf at Parramatta since shortly after the settlement at Parramatta was established. The wharf is located next to the Queens' Wharf Reserve and the Gasworks Bridge, which was close to the site of the first official landing place at Parramatta, when Governor Phillip and a small number of marines arrived in 1788 to establish a second settlement in Parramatta. The original wharf was built by convicts from gum tree logs, and reconstructed in sandstone in 1835. Overseas sailing ships and paddle steamers would come up the river with their goods and their passengers from Sydney.
After a brief hiatus from service in the upper river, due to silting and pollution in the river, ferry services returned to Parramatta in 1993, with two new wharves at Rydalmere and Parramatta reopened.
Jetties/service
Services to Parramatta are not as frequent as those in the inner harbour, however, the wharf generally receives one service per hour. Services generally run back to Circular Quay until the late afternoon or early evening.
