Cooper Creek Ferry

I would like to congratulate the Cooper Creek ferry operators. Prior to the Birdsville races a Club of Motorhomes (in access of 50) travelled the track to go to the races, unfortunately one motor home got stuck on the off ramp causing a huge backlog of vehicles wanting to cross. By the time we arrived we were about 20th in place and with only two hours of sunlight left. Not wanting to loose our place we ended up sleeping in our 4X4 because we were unable to set up. Well the next morning most people were in good spirits. The off ramp on the other side needed to be repaired before anymore motorhomes could be ferried. They were able to take smaller vehicles such as ours but this cause some decent amongst a few of the motorhome owners. Under a lot of complaints the operators kept their cool and continued to ferry as fast as was possible. We didn't get across until midday when repairs began on the off ramp. Motorhomes began to cross after us but the delay had increased and by the time we arrived at Birdsville there was a two day delay. I was of the understanding that the ferry was mainly for 4x4 vehicles and trailer, not that I wish to exclude any particular group but I overheard one motorhome owner even complaining about the road conditions. Sometimes the mind boggles! Well done to the operators who were under a lot of pressure and kept there cool. I lift my hat to you.
