Ferry hits sandbar on its first day

AdelaideNow... Ferry hits sandbar on its first day:

"On only its second return trip from Wallaroo, the ferry struck a sandbar about 100m out from Lucky Bay on Eyre Peninsula."


Whoops!!Even though we have tidal areas, it's not really something which comes into our thinking because tides are not really a problem here...until you have things like ferries!!! Just a bit of an implementation dip and very Australian!! The ferry will make such a difference to the travel between those two peninsulas. The dredging will now have a focus and be carried out carefully and the crossing of the Spencer Gulf like that will be a great thing for us. We'll fix it up and meanwhile there will be a few tales to be told!!
