Circular Quay, Sydney Heritage Walk, plaque

This brass plaque is located along the footpath on the edge of First Fleet Park at Circular Quay. There are 20 Sydney Heritage Walk plaques around the city and this one features Circular Quay in 1905. It features a photo and reads: Some large shipping was still using Circular Quay but ferries dominated the scene. The early ferries used sail and oar, with steam taking over by the mid 1800s. The steam ferries were gradually replaced by diesel ferries last century and they now share the harbour passenger trade with Jet Cats. When the Sydney Harbour Bridge opened in 1932 passenger numbers halved, but today's ferries carry millions of people a year and remain a major form of transport for Sydneysiders.

I was once the companion and friend of the great Queen Victoria. Because of the many good deeds I have done for deaf and blind children I have been given the power of speech. If you cast a coin into the wishing well now, I will say thank you." If you throw a coin in the wishing well, he says, "Thank you, woof, woof."
