  The Mariposa arrived in Sydney on 25th February, 1932...this was the first time she'd been to Sydney. She was initially berthed at East Circular Quay, No. 2 wharf...and was later moved to West Circular Quay, No.4 wharf...from where she departed late evening on 27th February, 1932.

Passengers leaving the Hawthorne ferry at New Farm, ca. 1929

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The memorial arch and park commemorate S. W. B. Hardcastle, a well known Hawthorne resident, who was a former head teacher of the Valley State School. A drinking fountain was unveiled in the park in his memory by the Hawthorne Progress Association on the 15th June 1929. In 1939 the area around the Hawthorne ferry terminal was generally known as Hawthorne Ferry Park, but the local residents applied to the Brisbane City Council to have it named in memory of S.W.B. Hardcastle, a well-known and highly regarded Hawthorne resident who had lived near the park. It was suggested that if Council supplied the stone, the residents would pay for a memorial in the form of an entrance arch. An area of over an acre was converted from freehold land for this purpose and a stone and metal arch bearing the name of the park was erected at its entrance.

  Yes, it is Captain W. Manning, who skippered the new Sydney Harbour car ferry from Liverpool, arriving Monday 12/07/1926. They hit a gale off the Queensland coast which caused damage to the deck, as seen here. Read All About It ! - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/246352675
