About the Lamb IslandMacleay Island, platform 1 crossing

Lamb Island back to Macleay, five minutes, 51 sailings from 00.23 to 23.53.

Arriving at a different platform

The outbound service uses Macleay platform 2; this one lands at platform 1. On a small island network that distinction is the difference between meeting your connection and missing it.

Twenty minutes offset

Each departure runs twenty minutes after the corresponding Macleay sailing — the pattern of a vessel working a continuous circuit between the islands rather than a point-to-point shuttle.

Arriving at platform 1 rather than 2 changes which onward island service you can reach.

  • go card / contactless / 50c flat fare
  • Wheelchair & bike friendly
