Parramatta. Hovercraft on the river

Gary Aston, MD, of Melbourne-based, Maria Hovercraft, said hovercraft vessels would be ideal on Sydney Harbour and up the Parramatta River. “Parramatta River is the best venue for a hovercraft – you don’t have to any dredging,” he said. Sydney entrepreneur, Ian Brookfield, claimed he could have more than six hovercraft on the water by Christmas, according to a Daily Telegraph report. The state government is moving to privatise Sydney Ferries.
