Cooper Creek Ferry Update - It's Now Official

Hi All
I do not know if has been reported in other ABC News Radio reports outside of South Australia, but it is now official.

Commencing next week, Transport SA will start preparing the "Antique Punt". Mr Peter Short said on the Radio this morning that the ferry will be taken off of its blocks next week, two outboard motors will be taken up and installed, greasing of the ferry and general maintenance in readiness for when the Birdsville Track is cut within the next few weeks. Mr Short said that on some days there could be up to 8 people working on the ferry, while on other days, no one at all.

The count down is no on, so for those that have been thinking of heading out to see the ferry run, start to put your plans into action, as it will be a very big attraction, with far more publicity now that when it last went into action 20 years ago.

Have a great weekend.


Cheers

Stephen
