The Manly Ferry

Sydney's iconic Manly Ferry. 'The MV Freshwater'

 

Photographed at sunset as it passed by me at McMahons Point, right beside the harbour near the Blues Point Reserve.

 

Last Sunday evening: 13th October, 2024.

 

McMahons Point is one of the coolest locations in Sydney to take harbour shots. The ferry and shipping lane is literally a few metres from you.

 

The MV Freshwater is the lead 'Manly Ferry' in a fleet of four ferries that also includes 'Narrabeen', 'Collaroy' and 'Queenscliff'. Each of the ferries is named after a beach in Sydney.

 

The MV Freshwater was launched on 27th March, 1982. The Manly Ferry sails from Circular Quay, in the city, to Manly Beach.

 

It's best feature: the availability of quality coffee and Danish pastries whilst travelling across Sydney Harbour. Woo hoo!!
