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 Brunswick Street wharf as it predated the existence of New Farm Park, having been in use at least as early as 1892. [5] During World War II it was part of Naval Base Brisbane. [6]

The wharf sustained moderate damage during the January 2011 Brisbane floods. [7] It reopened after repairs on 14 February 2011. [8] [9]
