New Farm Park ferry wharf is a ferry wharf at New Farm Park in the suburb of New Farm in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is used by the CityCat services that operate along the Brisbane River and by the cross-river CityFerry service to Norman Park ferry wharf.

Geography

The ferry wharf is located at the end of Brunswick Street. One of the Brisbane tramway routes ran down to the river along Brunswick Street, providing connectivity with the ferry. Today, bus services operate this route. The ferry wharf also provides access to New Farm Park and the Brisbane Powerhouse arts and entertainment centre.

History

The wharf was originally known as Brunswich Street wharf as it predated the existence of New Farm Park, having been in use at least as early as 1892.^[1]

In January 2011 the wharf sustained a moderate damage during the devastating floods; it was repaired and reopened on 14 February 2011.^[2][3][4]
