Meadowbank ferry wharf

Meadowbank Ferry Wharf is the commuter wharf serving the suburb of Meadowbank in Sydney Australia. It is part of the Sydney Ferries network. It is located on the Rydalmere ferry route. Some ferries terminate at this wharf and return to Circular Quay. The wharf has a single jetty used for docking of RiverCat ferries.

History

Prior to the construction of the Ryde Bridge in the 1930s, Ryde Wharf, located to the east of Meadowbank wharf at the current Ryde Bridge site, was the passenger wharf servicing the area.

Silt in the river and sludge from factory and industrial waste upstream led to the suspension of ferries between Parramatta and Sydney. Meadowbank wharf was the westernmost point for Sydney Ferries operating on Sydney Harbour and the Parramatta River until the restoration of the service to Parramatta in 1993 with the introduction of the Rivercat service.
