Webbs Creek Ferry timetable

The Webbs Creek Ferry doesn’t operate to a timetable as such. It runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, crossing the Hawkesbury from bank to bank. Essentially, if there’s a car waiting at either side, the ferry will take it over. The whole crossing takes about five minutes and there’s room for 24 cars.

Webbs Creek ferry location

The Webbs Creek Ferry east bank departure point is on River Road. It’s next to the Wisemans Ferry historic site. It arrives at the west bank of the Hawkesbury River on St Albans Road. The exact spot is just north of where Webbs Creek joins the Hawkesbury and just to the south of the confluence with the Macdonald River.

The Del Rio Riverside Resort is just to the south of the west bank terminus, and most people using the ferry will be staying at this resort. It prides itself on its natural setting and kangaroos are often spotted on the grounds.

It is at the fringe of the Parr State Conservation Area, which is left largely as wilderness, albeit with camping options, walking trails and 4WD tracks.
