Jardine River Ferry

That's a good reason not to tie your dog up to your vehicle.lol

yep, the original crossing a bit wet but we crossed it 2 years ago, kids wanted to experience it as we always had (in the old days 60's,70's & 80's)

This is the old crossing.


Cheers Dave.

Wow that looks like a daunting track to get across?

This will give you an idea on what not to do.

Having just recently come back down from the cape, (No, we did'ntgo up the OTT) we understand that Nolans claimed in excess of 63 vehicles this season at the time. All to go back on the barge from Seisia orr written off.....

We did that crossing in 1984 in a Suzuki 4wd. The rain staretd when we were between the Wenlock and Jardine, so no choise but to get the vehicle across. We had tow vehicles on the northern side but the tow lines kept getting snagged. We spent 11 hours in the water up to breast height holding the vehicle against the current, before we finally had it out the other side. We were a bit nervous about crocs!

when we crossed Nolan's was deeper but a lot easier than the Jardine & the north side of the Jardine is still & has always been the challenge

And everyone with insurance pays indirectly for the payouts on the vehicles lost at Nolans.
