The Mortlake Ferry, also known as the Putney Punt, is a cable ferry that runs across the Parramatta River in Sydney, connecting Hilly Street in Mortlake and Pellisier Road in Putney. == History and heritage == The vehicular ferry between Mortlake and Putney was opened on 16 May 1928. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/index.cgi?action=heritage.show&id=4301056 )〕 The service was established to serve the factory areas of Mortlake. The ferry opening pre-dated the nearby Ryde Bridge which opened in 1935, and it was one of several vehicular ferries operating across the Parramatta River at the time. The Mortlake Ferry is one of ten remaining vehicular cable ferries in New South Wales, and the only one still in use on Sydney Harbour or its tributaries. While carrying much less traffic than it has in the past, the ferry still operates daily and is protected by a heritage order by the National Trust of Australia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Sackville Ferry )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mortlake Ferry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
