Mowbray Park is a ferry wharf in the suburb of East Brisbane in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is used by the CityCat on the Brisbane River.
The wharf takes its name from adjacent Mowbray Park, which in turn is named for Thomas Mowbray, a Presbyterian minister who had been minister at the now heritage-listed Mowbraytown Presbyterian Church in the East Brisbane area (and formerly of the Blackridge Parish Church, Scotland).[2]
In January 2011 the wharf sustained a moderate damage during the devastating floods;[3][4] it was repaired and reopened on 14 February 2011.[5]
