Dawn Fraser is one of the seven RiverCat vessels. These were all built in response to growing demand on the Parramatta River route.

They were also built to a design that allowed them to travel with a low wash, thus reducing damage to the fragile river ecology. These vessels re-opened the route to Parrmatta.

She is named after Dawn Fraser  (04/09/1937) who represented Australia between 1956 & 1964 in the sport of swimming.
