think that fun try this on a tall ship for 3 to 4 hours out the heads then it fun done it hell what a hell fun very wet day out -

Inside basically identical to my '65 HD Special. And yes that smell which was unique to them. Nice smooth old wagons, many fond memories.

Caught the ferry back to the quay with the two kids, 8 & 11. Just like that. Absolutely brilliant.

A lovely little video thanks for the memories i had many trips on the north head steyne belubra and many other i forgot the name in all types of weather.

Great footage it brought back some fond memories thanks

This is going to give me a panic attack just from watching the footage

I’m 40 now and the last time I was 17 on a high swell ride, crazy fun

This is reminiscent of a rough trip in the 60's. Returning to Manly on the South Steyne after work one evening, a co-worker and I looked at each other in ominous dismay as we saw this huge wave coming at us from the Heads. We hung on as It picked up the stern and headed us straight out towards the Heads. Downstairs was flooded, people were thrown all about, and two suffered broken bones. It was a wild ride, and I believe the ferry stayed at Manly until things calmed down.

Beautiful piece of film-wish I was on board! J.

On a day like this, I'd be catching the bus.

Love the sound when the prop comes out and back down again, you know the swell is really chundering!

I think its a rocking trip ,hold on to your coffee ☕️

NOT monster waves, and the ship is doing very well what she was designed to do!!!!!!

Sea shanty time

anyone else come from the taitset vid?

So sweet!

Beautiful

Ive just subscribed to ya, I fucking love ya lol 🤣🤣🤣 Also love your blonde hair lol 😁😁😁

Back in the day ridding the front in your wetsuit

Few cities have such vessels. Such large ships being thrown about like bobbing corks yet they take the rough ride in their stride. This isn't an international service - it is part of Sydney's metropolitan public transport and us Sydneysiders have something that Melburnians will only ever enjoy whilst on a holiday. World-famous, iconic and perfectly safe.

she is so fat the plank would break

He bites you and you make that funny noise and he likes it so he bites you again so you make the funny noise again so he bites you again and ...

Who let the human out of the bird cage?

Well droned!

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TAKEN THAT FERRY....

I have a vague recollection of catching the Kooleen a few times - no outdoor seating, hot and smelly journeys. Maybe someone is able to explain how it came about. For a long time, Manly ferries would run a cruise to Broken Bay and back on Sunday afternoons. At least once, this duty was performed by the Kooleen - probably much to the disappointment of the passengers,

That would be fun!!!!!!

I'm Surprised To See The Forward Screw Locked In Position, Not Even Feathered!! This Must Create Tremendous Drag, When Both Screws Could Be Working, For Maximum Speed And Efficiency; (The Leading Screw In Reverse, Of Course!!). If They Can't Do That, It Must Mean Higher Cost Than A Variable Screw, Which Could Be Feathered!!

Ahh the drinking school on the back of the 5.20. 3 cans in all weather between Circular Quay and Manly. Fun times 😂

Never pull your hand away it will hold on tighter than you could ever imagine possible.

Nice video Haig. I wasn't alive when this was filmed, only just at least! Please do a part 2 or whatever from a Gen 2, that would be put in the comedy section of youtube.

One of the buses say 2023 and now were in 2023

Wow someone is really screaming 😳🫣😎

Impressive and interesting. Thank you.

Most of the Manly Ferries were built in Australia., Freshwater Class in Newcastle and B Class ie Baragoola, North Head, and Bellubera and others were all constructed in Sydney.. Dee Why, Curl Curl and South Steyne were made in the UK. Just saying

Ooo the horror it going up and down in Fiji I was in a tin boat it went up and down worst feeling ever

Back in the day …The North Steyne would plow through whatever The Heads dished out…everybody upstairs and water flowing through the lower level

How the fuck does it take 55 mins to travel 19 km by water..and cost twice as much as the train 😵‍💫

Magnificent vessels.

2GB playing in the background lol

Good fun

Good fun

Really neat timelapse. So hard to imagine not having the Northcott on the F1, she was a lovely vessel to ride, despite being quite cramped at times. The Emeralds just aren't up to it.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Noice.

Dramatic music sets the scene for an exciting trip.

I'm that old, I've enjoyed both the North Head and the Sth. Steyne...lol

I love the way the Freshwaters power through all that and give the passengers the ride of a lifetime...then on the way back from Manly to Sydney, you enjoy it again. Unlike the pathetic Emeralds. I've been on all 4 Freshwaters. I wouldn't feel safe in the 'cheapies', the Emeralds. Those who side with the Emeralds must be pathetic died in the wool misinformed state Liberal government supporters. I don't vote Labor either. I just love the real Manly ferries, the Freshwater. The idiot/s who commissioned the Emeralds seriously need to aquire that thing called a brain. Talk about a waste of money, and false economy.
