So...
While I don't live on the river, there is a stop along the Parramatta river that is a 5-10min walk from a train station on my train line.
I very much enjoy taking ferry rides and they are included in the weekly ticket I buy.
Mostly I use them simply to enjoy a trip from Circular Quay around to Darling Harbour.
But I decided I'd take a ferry up to river...
The Parramatta river travels from Sydney Harbour...to....you guessed it...Parramatta.
The sun was setting and so here's a few iphone snaps...
Passing under the Sydney Harbour Bridge
Pulling in to King St Wharf before heading up river
Pulling out...a wider shot of the CBD
The Maritime Museum
Now to take these shots I sat in the front. But these are 'rivercats' rather than traditional ferries and being more streamlined sitting in the front is rather....breezy....once we get going...
