About

About Howard Smith Wharves ferry terminal

This terminal sits directly beneath the Story Bridge, on a strip of riverbank that spent decades derelict before reopening in 2018 as a hotel, brewery and event precinct. The ferry stop was built into that redevelopment, which shows in its timetable — it keeps evening hours rather than early ones.

Nothing calls here before 06:06, unlike the cross-river terminals further downstream that run through the night, but the last boats are late: 23:57 towards Riverside and 23:59 towards Sydney Street. Both legs are short — 0.4 nautical miles to Riverside at 5 minutes, 0.7 nautical miles to Sydney Street at 6 minutes.

Weekly volumes are balanced: 88 departures and 91 arrivals on the Riverside pair, 91 and 87 on the Sydney Street pair. The cliff face behind the wharves, the Kangaroo Point escarpment opposite and the bridge overhead make this one of the more enclosed berths on the river.
