The ferry wharf is located at the end of Brunswick Street. One of the Brisbane tramway routes ran down to the river along Brunswick Street, providing connectivity with the ferry. Today, bus services operate this route. The ferry wharf also provides access to New Farm Park and the Brisbane Powerhouse arts and entertainment centre.
History
The wharf was originally known as Brunswick Street wharf as it predated the existence of New Farm Park, having been in use at least as early as 1892.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article3538037 |title=Brisbane Tramway Company|newspaper=The Brisbane Courier |date=26 February 1892 |accessdate=22 January 2015 |page=6 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} During World War II it was part of Naval Base Brisbane.[https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading-room/title-list-alphabetically/b/building-the-navys-bases/buidling-navys-bases-vol-2-chapter-26.html US Navy, Bases of World War II]
