Baragoola in operation 

And now she's gone due to neglect. Last remaining Manly Ferry actually manufactured and built in Australia.

I remember as she passed the heads, the lift of the swells entering the heads, would make all the window slashes clunk too and fro in their runners. Such a little memory but one that brings back memories of hot afternoons on the way home from Sydney Tafe.

Thank You So Much, for Sharing Lady Baragoola. You have just Brought Back my Wonderful Childhood in Manly. South Steyne, North Head & Baragoola were my FAVOURITE Manly Ferries. This is How Manly Ferries are Meant to Look Like, Sound Like & Be. :-) These Grand Old Manly Ladies, Operated & Ran, In All Weathers. Thanks again, for Some Wonderful Memories. :D

My family all had our favorites of these lovely old girls. This was my dad's favorites when we were kids. We always liked riding it too because it was the only one with a shop and you might be able to con the parents into getting you a bag of chips or a coke.

What a pricless gem. Thank you for the upload. Judging by the newish looking Holden Statesman at the wharf and the new AMP building at the Quay I would say it was filmed between 1974-1975. What a carefree life we had back then. John Yarr was the engineer in my childhood and Ron Hart was skipper until she was retired and Ron was on the Queenscliff. Manly is just so beauitful and the harbour.

It was wonderful growing up in those days going to Manly and back . We took it for granted, sailing past the Opera House or in my case the tram depot on Benelong Point watching the Opera House being built and completed. Then the Bridge. Great times.

Back in 1964 one of the ferries had the huge engine puffing out steam and all the engine smells, and you watched it working in the bowels of the boat. It was the place to sit in cold weather.

recently of 2022, Baragoola has recently sank in the port to where it resided at, the ship is unfortunately not repairable, and will unfortunately be scrapped.

Good video thanks Bruce this was obviously 1970s since the ferry is painted blue& white ptc colors after green& cream

Brings a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes. I have a copy of "seven miles from Sydney" on 8mm and I have to get it into digital format has all the old steamers, DeeWhy, Curl Curl, South Steyne, Kalang etc etc....

Part of my daily commute from Eastern hill to Ultimo. Those were the (good old) days.

Wow brings back wonderful memories :)

Great Footage......Good to see......Wonderfull.....

Whos here after she sank?

It's Not The Bloody "Barragoola!!" It's The "Barracoola!!" They Always Get It Wrong!!

Good video. Traveled on her many times in my younger days. But please get the name right. It's the BARACOOLA not BARAGOOLA. Look at 1:51 in the video.
