Mends Street Jetty
Mends Street Jetty is one of two Transperth jetties, the other being Coode Street Jetty, located in South Perth in Western Australia. The jetty is on the southern shore of the Swan River in the section known as Perth Water. The ferry service is primarily used for accessing the Perth Zoo from the CBD.
==History==
It is unknown when the first jetty at Mends Street was built, however, with the opening of the Perth Zoo in October 1898 it was recognised that a regular cross-river ferry service was needed.〔http://www.southperth.wa.gov.au/meetings/docs/2003/mar/ordinary_council/Attachment921a.PDF〕 Therefore, at about that time, the existing jetty was widened to 15 feet and an existing service which ran between William Street and Queen Street Jetty was extended to Mends Street.
The service was run by Joseph Charles who operated the ''Queen'' (later ''Empress'') and the ''Princess''. A few months later, Charles and his partner S. W. Copley started operating the PS ''Duchess'', a locally constructed vessel. ''Duchess'' made its inaugural run to Mends Street Jetty on 11 December, 1898, and plied the route for the following 29 years.
Later services included a business operated by Jack Olsen and Claes Sutton who ran a fleet including the ''Valfreda'', ''Valkyrie I'' and ''II'', ''Valhalla'' and the ''Valdhana'' between jetties at Point Belches near The Narrows, Mends Street and Coode Street.
