Hi All
I now have a new contact within Transport SA and I would now like to post the official ferry figures up until the 7th November 2011. As per my other posts, you will not find these figures in any other location, as my new contact Joanne informed me that I am the only private person to receive this information, with only other Government Department ever getting these details.
The below details are from the first day that the ferry was put back into operation on the 22nd June 2011. Due to Christmas Holidays and Departments closing down for annual leave, I will not be able to get the next updated figures until early January 2012.
Total number of 4WD ferried, 5139
Total number of cars ferried, 161
Total number of buses ferried, 404
Total number of motor bikes ferried, 212
Total number of Adults ferried, 14129
Total number of children ferried 1932
Total number of non vehicle people crossing 463
The 10,000th person crossed on 6 September 2011
Total North Crossings, 2948
Total South Crossings, 3058
Total empty crossings 2770
The largest number of vehicles ferried in 1 Day, 107
The above figure relates to the time of the
Birdsville Races and were the same on two days, 31st August of 107 and again on the 1st September with again 107 vehicles.
It is still not too late to head up for a ride and to become part of history. Like I mentioned in my last post, the Cooper is dropping slower that expected and the ferry should be running into January 2012 at this stage.
To add further to this lifetime experience, I can also highly recommend a cruise with Peter Ware and a Helicopter flight with Paul. Both of this trips compliment each other and gives you another perspective of the extent of the flooding.

Until my nest ferry updates.
