fat finger problem - Goolwa not Goolway

KI is a great place to tour lots of visitors & things to see and do, but not crowded.

There are from memory (its a few years since we took our car & camper trailer over there) a number of camp sites - in the National Parks (both at the western end of the island and on the south coast) that would take a group. The web site below says you need to book ahead - have a look at

Looks like your ferry price for 5.1 metre vehicle is about $110 each way, depending on season - again its on that site.

Happy planning
Max

try this site

They charge by the length of your vehicle and also trailer if your towing one.
Not cheap compared to Spirit of tasmania priceing

Thanks Guys - bl**dy expensive ain't it? To get me the missus the patrol and kanga across and back is around $400....think I'll spend that on a PS dinner cruise on the Coorong.
Cheers

There was another Ferry Company - KI Ferries that sailed out of Wirrina but their website http://www.kiferries.com.au/ doesn't seem to be operating any more.

Guess that means that yet another ferry operator has bitten the dust.

Admittedly SeaLink are formidable competitors and had made good investments in their fleet and their terminal.

Ciao for now

KI is a great place and the fishing is good. So are the National Parks. If you've not been there before, hang the expense and go. You won't regret it. They have a good road network around there now. Admirals Arch, the seals at Seal Bay, The Kelly Hill caves are amazing, The fishing at De Estrees bay is good for garfish and whiting, Kingscote is a nice town and even the touristy things like the sheep dairy and the honey farm are well worth the visit. Bird watching at Murray's Lagoon is also a must. There also Scuba diving from Emu Bay, check out the leafy sea dragons. A great place for all the family.
