This post shows three River Cats into and out/off Circular Quay. Most ferries seem to back out of the wharf, do a u-turn (uie)out in the middle of Sydney Cove, and then charge of on their route, in this case the F3 to Parramatta. I think that numbering is Gladys-speak, Gladys being the transport minister in our state government. There are seven low-wash catarmarans in this class of ferry. They came into service between 1992 and 1995. |
The three ferries shown here are: the Shane Gould, the Evonne Goolagong, and the Marlene Mathews. The others in the class are:
the Betty CuthbertEach is named after a famous Australian sportswoman. The styling is nowhere near as attractive as the First-Fleet class of ferry. |

On the other hand, they have a more working boat sort of feel to them that appeals to me.
Some good angles there.
The ferries are such an important part of Sydney's transport network. Perhaps not unique but certainly very different to Melbourne.
Nice and fast transport.
Smart.
I simply love any form of water transport!
I would never have picked that, VP.
