North Shore Steam Ferry was a trial film using Lumière Cinematographe equipment purchased for the Queensland Department of Agriculture.[1]

Frederick Wills filmed the steam ferry PS Cammeray docking at the Milsons Point Ferry Wharf in 1899.[2] It also shows a worker preparing to receive the ferry as passengers on board ready for disembarkation.[2]

Frederick Wills and Henry Mobsby produced several films using the Lumière Cinematographe that they had purchased for the Queensland Department of Agriculture.[1]
