Hawthorne ferry wharf, Heritage-listed ferry dock in Hawthorne, Australia

The Hawthorne ferry terminal features an open timber-framed structure with terracotta-tiled roof and decorative elements along the Brisbane River bank.

Constructed in 1925 by the Brisbane City Council, the wharf provided essential cross-river transportation before the development of extensive bridge networks.

The Arts and Crafts architectural style of the ferry house reflects the Federation Queen Anne design principles of early twentieth-century Australian infrastructure.

RiverCity Ferries operates regular services from this terminal, which includes covered waiting areas and accessible pathways leading to the pontoon.

The terminal survived the Brisbane floods of January 2011 and reopened after repairs on February 14, 2011, maintaining its original structural integrity.
