Hi All
It has been a long time since I have been able to post the ferry figures like I was able to do last year. The reason for this is my contact within Transport SA has taken a senior roll for the next 18 months and she has been flat out in her new position.
After a number of emails and phone calls to Juanita, she has been able to take time and compose the following figures for me, so here they are. I will give a months figure at a time and then I will give a complete detailed break up at the end.
Those that have been following my details will be aware that the ferry commenced operation for the second time in 2011 on the 22nd June 2011 and here they are:
Total vehicles that crossed from the 22nd June until 30th June 2011
227 vehicles, 585 people and 375 crossing with the busiest day on the 29th June and 42 vehicles ferried.
From the 1st July until the end July 2011
1513 vehicles, 4215 people, 2245 crossings and busiest day on the 12th July and 71 vehicles ferried.
From 1st August until the 31st August 2011
1504 vehicles, 3964 people, 2337 crossings and the busiest day on the 31st August with 107 vehicles ferried.
1st September until until the 12th September 2011
801 vehicles, 1949 people, 1369 crossings and the busiest day on the 1st September with 107 vehicles ferried.
Total Four wheel drive ferried until 12th September 3493
Total Number of Car ferried until 12th September 91
Total number of Buses ferried unit 12th September 295
Total number of Motor Cycles ferried unit 12th September 166
The 10,000 person crossed on the 6th September 2011.
So until my next updates, it is still not too late to head up to the
Cooper Creek Ferry and experience a piece of history.
