Once such a common sight on Sydney Harbour, the well known Lady class ferries have been in decline for many years.

  Recently the LADY NORTHCOTT joined the retiree ranks, her future now being uncertain. Hopefully she fins a good owner.

  The following photos were taken during Australia Day this year. The afternoon was spent riding both her, and sister LADY HERRON, on the Taronga Zoo run.

Back when we had ones of interest, the Semi-Retired Foamer also

photographed the ferries and hydrofoils around Sydney Harbour.

As always, just a random selection!

The historic ferry Karrabee which spent many decades on Sydney Harbour before sinking at Circular Quay wharf following a Ferrython race.

She was later sold and become a floating restaurant at Gosford, where she is seen above.

After a number of years she was regretfully scrapped at this location, despite her heritage importance.
