Sydney Ferries - the Super Cats










There are only four vessels in the "Super Cat" ferry class:
the Louise Sauvage

the Saint Mary McKillop

the Susie O'Neill, and

Super Cat 4.

The top image shows the "Louise Sauvage" coming in to berth at Circular Quay. The lower image shows "Super Cat 4" motoring past Admiralty House (the Sydney Residence of the Governor General) on its way to Watsons Bay.



These four ferries primarily run the Eastern Suburbs route, F7, which includes Elizabeth Bay, Double Bay, Rose Bay, and Watsons Bay adjacent to South Heah. These four vessels entered service between 2000 and 2001. Susie O'Neill was an Olympic swimmer. Louise Sauvage was a paralympic wheelchair-racer. Saint Mary McKillip was a Roman Catholic nun canonised in 2010. Then, I guess they ran out of names ... or something!
