Teneriffe Ferry Terminal

Quiet and unassuming, I love this ferry terminal.
The operators are a bit gruff but friendly
and services depart for Bulimba every 10 minutes or so.
What’s also cool about this terminal is the bus transport on hand.
CityGlider and 199 services patiently chug their way down
Commercial Rd and depart every couple of minutes.
(A far far cry from the Northside buses I’ve experienced.)
Making for a idyllic way to get to work
or as a great way to show tourists the river.
Teneriffe Terminal is a perfect slice of Brisbane life.

After the tumultuous madness that was the awful Brisbane floods, it’s nice to see that the new Teneriffe Ferry Terminal has been rejuvenated to include not only the cross river ferry from Teneriffe to Bulimba, but also a new City Cat stop.
Since living in Teneriffe I’ve not really embraced the City Cat because previously it meant a 20 minute walk up to New Farm Park. But voila! Now I can join the boating commuters and jump on the City Cat from the new Teneriffe terminal.
I find that the ferry and the City Cat is also a great way to show off Brisbane to friends who are visiting from elsewhere, especially at night when the boat approaches the city. The lights on the Story Bridge always look so magical. Is there a more relaxing, pretty way of traveling? I think not!
