Acknowledgement and Credits

The Sydney Harbour Ferries project would not have been possible without the generous support and contributions of many individuals and organisations.

We extend our sincere thanks to Dale Budd and Randall Wilson for granting permission to build upon their 2006 publication, The Sydney Harbour Ferry Book. Their work laid the foundation for this new edition, which is scheduled to go to print at the end of the year.

We are especially grateful to Howard Collins of Transport for NSW and Jarrod Graham of Transdev for facilitating behind-the-scenes access to the ferry network, enriching the depth and authenticity of this publication.

Our appreciation also goes to the many individuals and institutions who kindly provided contemporary and historical photographs that bring the story of Sydney’s ferries to life. In particular, we acknowledge the contributions of John Darroch, Haig Gilchrist, Dennis O’Brien, and Vic Solomons.

To Nicholas Baker, thank you for your time and expertise in fact-checking the content relating to the Sydney Harbour Ferry fleet.
