Tea Gardens Ferry by onewing

Tea Gardens Ferry

The Tea Gardens ferry boat is a bit of a rust bucket, but it is a very pleasant ride from Nelson Bay to Tea Gardens.

On the hour and a quarter journey you get to see lots of birdlife and plenty of dolphins swim alongside too.

If ever you are in this part of the world it is a very relaxing day out.
Sounds a pleasant outing

Beautiful capture and reflections on the water. The ferry looks quite old but wouldn't mind taking a ride on it with all that can be seen along the way.

@777margo @casablanca @annied @hermann @dide @sangwann @ludwigsdiana @louannwarren @pdulis It is a lovely day out. Morning ferry to Tea Gardens, a wander around the shops, lunch at the pub, lots of photo opportunities along the way and then the snooze ferry home again.

@lyndamcg You get morning tea at Tea Gardens and a cake, lunch at the pub and then a lovely snooze on the way home in late afternoon.

@pcoulson The Dolphin Watch Café at the wharf does the best bacon and egg roll in Australia.

@365projectorgjenfurj You will have to come up here sometime.

Sounds like a lovely day out, anything that involves tea and cake has got to be good, especially if you see dolphins en route!

This looks just the sort of thing I would expect on a trip to coastal Australia.....you make it sound very tempting Babs! Love a ferry ride, just fast enough for me!

@jodies @mittens @seattlite @craftymeg @busylady @inthecloud5 @lynne5477 @radiogirl @beryl It is a lovely day out.

@happypat You will have to come here for a few days en route to New Zealand next time Pat, you are more than welcome. Flights direct from Newcastle to New Zealand now. That is Newcastle NSW not Newcastle UK, ha ha.

It is just far enough for David too, the bay is very calm. He does get rather green though when we go on a whale watch boat as those boats go out into the ocean proper.

@onewing Wouldn't that be a great idea! You never know I might take you up on that if you would have me stay a day or two one year! Would be fab! Thank you.
October 9th, 2018
