- The Bundeena Ferry is a ferry service between Sydney's beachside suburb of Cronulla, and Bundeena, a small village in the Royal National Park. This ferry is the oldest continuously run ferry service in Australia, dating back to the inaugural service in 1915, and even more remarkably, the service is operated to this day by the same vessel that was built purposely for this actual route, the 1939 built MV Curranulla! Join Rheilffordd and the friendly crew of the Cronulla and National Park Ferry Service as we celebrate the history and the present day service of this wonderful and cherished piece of maritime history that you can visit and experience daily!

I`m 74 now and I went on this maybe 68 years ago and I am surprised it is still running. Thank you for this.
@@ronvorbach1464 wow ok, hope you’re delighted to see both MV Curranulla (And Bundeena) are going strong! 💪
Awesome stuff! I didn't know about this one.
New video coming up?
@@Taitset I reckon a video on the closest ferry stops to train stations might be an idea? 😜
@Rheilffordd I was thinking closest fish and chip shops to ferry wharves.. At Watson's Bay the ferry almost comes into the shop!
Great work! I caught this ferry a few years ago and really enjoyed it.
@@FromtheWindowSeat hey Adam! Same, I first caught it in 2010, thought it was cool and was astounded to see her still going in 2024, so a video topic it must! 😁
Excellent video Maikha! I've used the Bundeena ferry a few times (being a Shire resident) but I had no idea the service or the vessel were that old 🤯 It's definitely a treasure for sure! I do think that allowing Opal cards would be good though, as its the only consistent public transport link Bundeena has (the 989 bus only runs to Cronulla and Engadine once a week - come to think of it that bus might be deserving of its own video given its unique status being the only route run by the family-owned Maianbar Bundeena Bus Service).
@@GreatAussieDrives I agree, Opal integration would definitely be nice!
Added to the To-Do list, thank you for the great video my friend.
@@samdaly799 all good! Hope you’re keeping alright
A good one, interesting to watch
@@SiobhanIsntShane Thanks! Feel free to check out our other videos as well 😁
A great video, this is now on my bucket list 😊 thanks for the information on this little know ferry.
@@VincentBigiolli Definitely worth a visit next time you’re in Sydney!
I like this video. It’s ferry good
@@michaelhall8586 haha, I see what you did there 😜
Great video but not quite correct. Roads and Maritime Services have a vehicle ferry “ number 07”. It has been operating since 1897 and has been and still operating today.
@@michaelminogue5028 Hi Michael! Thanks for the feedback and also the correction. I am indeed intrigued, can you elaborate further on where this vehicle ferry is located? Thanks!
The oldest continuously operated ferry, not the oldest ferry service some of which would a hundred years older.
@@stephenarbon2227 correct, as elaborated in the introduction to the video 😛
I would like to sail on this boat when I am next in Sydney
@@ch64621 absolutely highly recommended, and spend abit of time in Bundeena as well, very nice little town 👍
