Reliable Ferry Serive to Shark Island

VIEWS
90

Would be good if there was a reliable service on Weekends so that we could visit the island.

Attempted to visit today with visitors who had driven all the way in from Blue Mountains only to find out at circular quay that Matilda were not running services today Saturday 27 Feb. as they had hired out their ferries.

I'm sure the public would appreciate a reliable service to the harbour islands.

Consideration should be given to a one way circuit around Horth Head. One side of the road could be used by vehicles and the other side pedestrains and bikes. It basically leads all traffic in one direction more ...

Dog Walking
