Birchgrove, wharf

Birchgrove Wharf is in the inner west suburb of Birchgrove. It is also known as the Yurulbin Point Wharf or Louisa Road Wharf and had been known as Longnose Point wharf, in the past. The wharf with this covered passenger waiting area is located on the Parramatta River as it enters Sydney Harbour. It is serviced by Sydney Ferries on the Inner Harbour Services between Circular Quay and Woolwich.

    My husband is a Sydneysider, yet I have never been on a harbour ferry. What an oversight... it looks delightful, as ever.

    It looks like a nice little spot on the waterfront. I loved Sydney's waterfront when I visited so many years ago.

    You sure get around the city Jim and are such a fund of knowledge about what you are seeing too.

    I wish I had been in Sydney longer than two days all those years ago -I didn't get to visit spots like this.
