A while back I showed you
here where visitors to the
Perth Zoo, or commuters who work in the city but live in South Perth, catch the ferry from
Barrack Street Jetty over to the south of the river docking at
Mends Street Jetty. So this is from the south side going back to the city. We didn't actually catch the ferry but it was good to sit and people watch on a crisp winters day while enjoying a steaming hot coffee. The ferry arriving below...
... not long before the ferry drops off and picks up new passengers..
....before heading back across the Swan River to the city. The ferries run every 15/30 minutes and at $4.20 adults, $1.60 children return not a bad ride, especially since more often than not you could be lucky enough to catch sight of dolphins and the occasional black swan, pretty cool oui! Happy Sunday, take care and stay safe...
That must be a wonderful ferry ride if you can see dolphins! I'd love that very much.
ReplyDeleteOh, how fun to ride that ferry!! What great shots for the day, Grace!! I love the water and ferries!! We had them Seattle and I always looked forward a chance to take them! Your pics are the next best thing!! Hope your weekend is going well, stay warm, and enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to swim with dolphins but maybe boating with them would be nearly as good :-) Great shots, have a good day Diane
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing our cities have in common, Grace. Although our ferries go across to the Toronto Islands which are mostly park and beaches but there are also a few hundred homes there. The ferries run about every 30 minutes and more on the weekend. No dolphins though!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful day for a ferry ride.
ReplyDeletePerfect place to enjoy the view.

Brilliant! The colours are fantastic and I can smell the fresh sea air!
ReplyDeleteCommuter ferries, just like New York City. You really are a big league city!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful day to be out on the water, Grace!
ReplyDeleteThat's a ferry ride I would love to take!
ReplyDeleteGrace, thanks so much for bringing back happy memories - and how good is your weather up there, enjoy it:) xoJoy
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice place for people watching. For a little over $20 a week for commuters, it must be quite a saving for some.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a nice day...your photos capture beautifully that crispness in the air. And ain't it fun to people-watch? :)
ReplyDeleteThat would be a change to my morning commute.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great ride. It reminds me of the ferries in Seattle.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics, Grace! Yes, I saw both, a dolphin and black swans and with the day rider ticket you can use it, too :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect place to be!:)
ReplyDeleteSchöne Bilder von einem schönen Tag am Hafen.

I only seem to take the South Perth ferry when I have overseas visitors. It's such a lovely way to cross the river into the city!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun it would be to see dolphins! Worth every penny! Oh, you don't have pennies anymore -neither do we - so I guess it would be worth every nickel.
ReplyDeleteWinters with now snow???? I wish. I wish my only problem winters was 'brisk'. Ha!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sights of this jetty...good week! Arianna
