Putney Punt (also known as Mortlake Ferry). A free car ferry in Sydney?! 🚗⛴

Went to Cockatoo Island yesterday - great free day out - and caught the ferry from Meadobank to the Island and return.

On the way back our ferry stopped in the middle of the trip to let the Mortlake Car Ferry cross the river.

It runs during the weekend and peak hour Mon - Fri on cables across the river - you can see the cables raise and lower as it goes across.

It goes from Hilly Street, Mortlake to Pellisier Road, Putney and return on demand and is free,

A strange little gem :)
