👋 Hello Five Dock
Tuesday edition
13 Oct 2026
Tuesday quick one - ferries, chaos, and good health.
Hi Neighbours, well it's the Tuesday edition and this is always a bit of a light one as the week is getting started. But here's the news from around town.
Say goodbye to the best way to get into the city
If you catch the ferry from Abbotsford, you'll need a plan B for the next couple of months.
Transport for NSW has told Council that Abbotsford Ferry Wharf will close from Thursday 22 October to Friday 18 December for maintenance and some upgrades. Ferries are expected back on Friday 18 December, just in time for summer on the river.
While it's closed, no ferries will stop at Abbotsford at all. Transport for NSW says the easiest alternative is the bus along Great North Road in Abbotsford.
If you have questions, contact Transport for NSW directly._ Email [email protected] or call 1800 684 490._

That's right - a new cafe, Chaos (http://chaoscafe.com.au/) is joining Five Dock. An 'anonymous local' snapped this on the weekend giving us a sneak peek into the setup. I don't know when they're opening but I hope it's soon!
