One of the longest serving ferries on Sydney Harbour, "Kanangra" was withdrawn from service in 1985 and moored adjacent to the Pyrmont Bridge in Darling Harbour. After plans to restore it as a steam powered vessel as a Bicentennial project were dropped due to high expense, it was donated to the Sydney Heritage Fleet in 1987. The Kanangra Restoration Committee was established in 2001. The Fleet plan a full restoration of "Kanangra" to her 1960s period retaining the diesel configuration. An ultrasound hull survey was conducted in 2002. An urgent program of hull stabilisation has been completed. As of 2020, she is currently moored in Rozelle Bay. In 2009, she was placed on the Australian Register of Historic Vessels.
