Ferries of Melbourne:
Past, Present, Future – Good, Better, Best?

Explore the heritage and the potential of Melbourne’s ferries with Melbourne Maritime Heritage Network.

Melbourne’s ferries have delivered significant social and economic benefit to our community in the past. Today ferries remain a woefully under-developed transport and tourism option. The opportunity to expand ferry services around this state and in this city is great. This potential needs to be unlocked – by government (local and state), by responsible authorities and by relevant private sector and non-profit stakeholders.
