Ives Steps Wharf is located beside Pier One at Dawes Point, looking out on Sydney Harbour. The infamous Billy Blue operated a regular passenger boat service from Dawes Point across the harbour to Blues Point from 1830. The boat dock was approximately where the Ives Steps Wharf is now, but at that time it was called Waterman’s Steps. They were renamed after Alderman Isaac Ellis Ives around 1896.
A view of from a ferry travelling on Sydney Harbour. In front of the southern pylon of the Sydney Harbour Bridge are Ives Steps Wharf and Pier One on Walsh Bay. In the distance is the Sydney Opera House.
Walsh Bay, on Sydney Harbour, stretches between Dawes Point and Millers Point. The Walsh Bay wharves were originally part of Sydney’s port facilities. The Wharf Theatre opened in 1984 in the redeveloped warehouse building on Pier 4 and Pier 5. It contains two theatres: Wharf 1 has 339 seats and Wharf 2 has 205 seats. It is the home base for the Sydney Theatre Company and the Sydney Dance Company. It also features The Wharf Restaurant at this end of the building.
This ferry wharf, on the southern side of the Parramatta River, serves the western suburb of Parramatta. A regular service is provided by RiverCat ferries on the Parramatta River route between here and Circular Quay. It is the farthest point of travel for Sydney Ferries on the river route, since a weir next to it prevents further travel upstream.
This ferry wharf, on the northern side of the Parramatta River, is in the north western suburb of Rydalmere. A regular service is provided by RiverCat ferries, part of Sydney Ferries, on the Parramatta River route.
Finally I have gotten around to writing my blog post on Ripples Sydney Wharf, which has recently re-opened under new management. I have been a MIA blogger recently due to a mixture of work, uni, social life and change of blog theme, which is slowly killing me life (I am no Queen of CSS and HTML editing, learning as I go).
There are four different Ripples locations in Sydney (Milsons Point. Chowder Bay, Whale Beach & Sydney Wharf) with all four being right on the water and having some of the best views in Sydney. Each has a relaxed atmosphere, making it welcoming for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. Sydney Wharf has recently re-opened under new management, which brings with it a new chef and new menu to try.
The reflection of the Sydney Olympic Park ferry wharf along the Parramatta River is enhanced by the golden afternoon sun. The wharf serves the western suburb of Wentworth Point, which was previously known as Homebush Bay. A regular service is provided by RiverCat ferries on the Parramatta River route of Sydney Ferries.
