Steam ferry on the Town Reach of the river, ca. 1898

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The first recorded ferry service to Kangaroo Point was a row boat from Edward Street to what must have been Thornton Street in 1860 and in 1866, a punt operated between Customs House and, no doubt, Holman Street. The first steam powered passenger ferry was launched on the 22nd of September 1883 and in 1884, the cable operated steam punt Transit was introduced between Charlotte Street, City and Bright Street, which was then called Ferry Road. In 1887, the 50 passenger steam ferries Emu and Kangaroo replaced the rowing boats on the Edward Street to Thornton Street run and from the 1st of November to the 4th of November 1888, 20,037 (???) passengers were carried on the three Kangaroo Point ferries. During this time, an unofficial ferry began operating between Ferry Street and either Merthyr Road or Sydney Street at New Farm. This will almost certainly be Hughie Moar’s ferry. He also had a slipway at Ferry Street. The steam ferry Ena was launched in 1909 for the Brisbane Municipal Council. It operated on Town Reach. Source: kangaroopointhistory.com.au/the-river/ferries/

    8th December 1940 Crowds gather in Queen Street in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia to watch the Air Force Parade. A banner wishes them Good Luck and a Safe Return. Nearly one in ten of the personnel serving under Britain’s Royal Air Force command in the Second World War were from the Royal Australian Air Force. Source: intimesgoneby.wordpress.com/tag/brisbane/
