How to get there?

For this weekend only experience Melbourne by river!  Exclusive to the Melbourne Food and Wine festival and for visitors convenience a river ferry service will operate on a 30 minute schedule Mar 2-3 only.

For $6 you can park all day in Harbour Town Docklands and catch a ferry from Melbourne Waterfront Marina.

Otherwise you can catch a train to Flinders St or Southern Cross. A river ferry will be operating from Federation Square and World Trade Centre.


If you are feeling energetic, you can walk or cycle along the river until you pass under Charles Grimes bridge. Point Park is located just beyond Yarra's Edge.

The choice is yours. But make sure you get off at Yarra's Edge for our Picnic at Point Park and all that Jazz. It is only a short walk from the ferry stop to Point Park.
