'Baragoola is the oldest surviving Sydney ferry.' .

Looking to invest in a piece of Sydney nostalgia? The 1922 built Manly Ferry "BARAGOOLA" will go to auction next week.

The online auction will run from Monday 17 and runs until 25 November at www.graysonline.com.au

This is the oldest ferry alive and the sister ship to The South Steyne which currently resides in Darling Harbour. The current owner has spent plenty of money restoring her over 20 years, but the time has come for an enthusiast to take her on.

NSW Maritime are working hand in hand with the relocation of the boat and support her next phase of restoration.

The sale is handled by Progressive Boat Sales from Balmain in conjunction with Grays on Line.

Perhaps somebody out there can either put the old girl to good use or save and restore her.

For information, visit www.graysonline.com.auor contact Gareth Venn-Brown Tel: 0413 544 506 or (02) 9555 2336.
