The ferry terminal and Tasty Express café are at the eastern end of B Shed adjacent to the O’Connor Ferry Landing.
Built in 1926 as a general cargo shed, B Shed was refurbished in 2010. Contemporary units, which house the ferry offices and the café, are located within the shed and contrast vividly with the shed’s original structure. There are a number of historic photographs featured in glass panels and murals.
The ferry terminal project won a 2011 State Heritage Award.

A great place to visit
B Shed is a wonderful place to visit. You can wander around this restored 1926 wharf shed, look at the historic photos in glass panels and mosaics and the wharf structure through cut-outs in the floor, book a ferry ride or Rottnest accommodation, hold a function at the cafe or simply buy a coffee and watch the ships go by.
