点评:We did a round trip using a V/Line train to Geelong, a route bus to Portarlington and the ferry back to Melbourne's Docklands.
One of the two ferries was berthed at Portarlington but this was not our vessel, as the latter arrived from Geelong.
Fares are much more expensive than the train despite Port Phillip Ferries receiving a heavy subsidy from the broke state Labor government.
The journey was smooth but a little marred by dirty windows that made it difficult to see out.
Once we were on the Yarra River it became more interesting. By standing outside, one could view Webb Dock and West and East Swanson Docks. A few container ships were in port.
The ferry ran a few minutes late.
There was a lack of signage on the Portarlington Pier as to where the ferry would depart from although this became obvious when it arrived.
翻译:我们乘坐 V/Line 火车前往吉朗,然后乘坐路线巴士前往波塔灵顿,最后乘坐渡轮返回墨尔本港区,完成了往返行程。
两艘渡轮中有一艘停泊在波塔灵顿,但这不是我们的船,因为后者是从吉朗抵达的。
尽管菲利普港渡轮公司从破产的州工党政府那里获得了大量补贴,但票价比火车贵得多。
旅途很顺利,但窗户很脏,很难看清外面,这有点破坏了旅程。
一旦我们到达雅拉河,事情就变得更有趣了。站在外面,可以看到韦伯码头、西斯旺森码头和东斯旺森码头。港口有几艘集装箱船。
渡轮晚点了几分钟。
波塔灵顿码头上没有指示渡轮从哪里出发的标志,尽管渡轮到达时这一点很明显。
