Wisemans Ferry

85 km from the centre of Sydney is Wisemans Ferry, a cable ferry named after its founder, Solomon Wiseman, a former convict. It crosses the Hawkesbury River connecting the old Great North Road. The ferry crossing has been in use since 1829, making it the oldest ferry crossing still in operation in Australia. Until the opening of the Peats Ferry Bridge across the Hawkesbury River at Brooklyn, Wisemans Ferry was one of the main road routes north out of Sydney.
