Removed to
Marree in 2022 for repairs that never happened
In the meantime graziers have been calling out for decades to get a bigger barge, capable of taking roadtrains, fuel supplies etc.
Even my contacts within DIT calling for a barge. The one they are looking at will be like a giant Meccano set, in container form, shipped over from Western Australia.
Will take 3 days to get here then assembled on site, this has been my weekly question for over 3 months with officials. Then there are talks that if it does get approved, it will be a money grab and first ever TOLL Road/Crossing in South Australia. Fees tossed around $50 for car and up to $1500 for roadtrain….yet the same trips on the River Murray ferries…free…..
The Cooper finally crossed the
Birdsville Track early Thursday morning and not a ferry or barge at the crossing and there will be nothing for months, but all down to our Premier to
sign off and approve but big stalemate.
The
Birdsville Track is still underwater south of
Birdsville and be so for at least 8 more weeks.
Wishing the coming months, there is over $270 million dollars of premium organic cattle that needs to get to market, but nothing in place. Mungerannie Pub had to close a couple of weeks ago, 9 staff lost jobs.
There is so much more to tell but but not enough time….lol
Unfortunately the
forum has lost its mojo like it did have years ago, so mush BS etc.
They say you can bot self promote but on my floods page I get tens of thousands of hits every day and for example in 17 hours since I did a history of the Cooper barges and ferry, I have had nearly 25, 000
views and 160 shares., something will never ever happen or has here on the
forum.
Now waiting the the mods to get the shits and remove this
