Dawes Point holds a significant place in the history of Australia, it has been the site of continuous European occupation since the first months of European settlement.
The Horse Ferry wharf was built in 1831 to carry horse drawn carts, drays and motor vehicles across the Harbour prior to the construction of the Harbour Bridge.
The wharf was restored as a heritage feature by Ward Civil in 2006.
