It now looks like the task that I started nearly 2 years ago has finally come to an end, proving Mother Nature does not dump mega rain in the Queensland catchment area in the not so distant future.

When the ferry is returned to its blocks is the big question that no one in Transport SA is prepared to answer, but I have asked to be kept informed.

What I can now officially give is the final figures that have only been release today and again all EO Forum readers are the first to view the figures. The figures are the grand totals since the ferry was first put back into operation on the 22nd June 2011 and ceased operations at 10am on the 12th January 2012. The 10,000 person to cross was on the 6th September 2011.
