About
DetailsOn Saturday evening 31st December 1921, North Shore residents who travelled to the City to celebrate and participate in New Year's Eve festivities caught a ferry at 12:15 a.m. from Circular Quay to catch the last train leaving Milson's Point for Hornsby at 12:30 a.m. The ferry did not stop at Milson's Point and everyone missed the train, forcing most of the 200 stranded people to walk home, some as far as Hornsby.
This is account of how events unfolded as described in The Sun and Sydney Morning Herald newspapers and how the Ferry Company and Railway Department blamed each other for what happened.
