Ferry Building.
When disembarking the ship, exit the terminal and walk down Princes Wharf to the main road
which is Quay St. Turn left on Quay St and walk in front of the ship. The large old
terracotta coloured building with the clock tower is the Ferry Building, the bus stop is
located just past the Ferry Building.
If the ship is berthed at Queens Wharf then the bus stop is literally at the gate.

You can print off the web site,from driver or more than likely our people will meet
you when you disembark.

mid April.

be a shame not to try some local cuisine while you are here.
