While the Palm Beach ferry is a hot topic, let's pop back across to Palmy.
Pittwater and Brisbane Water ferry routes. The bottom route goes from Ettalong to Palm Beach and is the one threatened by the sandbank.
(Incidentally, everything on the green and blue map is on the Central Coast and everything on the blue map is in Sydney.)
Fantasea Crystal at Palm Beach. A comfy and efficient ferry but not exciting as ferries go.
These two are also of the Palm Beach fleet:
Crystal Spirit, at Wagstaffe
Myra & friend, wooden ferries at Palm Beach
Floating life - ferries, dingies, wooden boats, putt-putts, a hull, a raised wreck, and a sub
Lion Island from the Palm Beach ferry. I never get tired of Lion Island.

Seaplane at Palm Beach, with Barrenjoey Head behind it. The seaplane takes off from Sydney Harbour and does sightseeing tours up the coast to Pittwater.

does anyone know if the patonga-palm beach ferry still runs or not?
Nup.
Could've sworn Myra or her mate went there but apparently it's the Hawkesbury crowd.
Better get out the tinny.
I had a look at the palm beach ferry website it says there that they only use the patonga - palm beach run when the ettalong - palm beach run is cancelled due to rough weather
Makes sense. You wouldn't wanna go across the mouth when it gets nasty. You wouldn't get half the passengers to board anyways!
