Ferry - Wallaroo to Lucky Bay

The Ferry pulling in at Lucky Bay
The Lucky Bay to Wallaroo Ferry started running in April 2012 after closing while the new ferry was being built.  Many of the locals seem to think the ferry is overpriced and something of a waste of money.   Now the ferry doesn't really save you anything when you compare it to flights out of Port Lincoln and driving around the gulf, via Port Augusta.  Given we were relocating and had a long drive back to Victoria we decided it was worth go.

When we arrived at Lucky Bay, I was expecting to find a nice ferry terminal where I could grab a bite to eat and we would sit and wait. Instead, we found a slapstick shed that even attracts the odd snake, according to the amusing warning sign, asking visitors to close the door.  The ferry was nice and new, all the amenities were clean.  There's a cafe onboard, televisions, tables and chairs.  The rooftop provides a nice view.  All things considered, it was worth the ride!

Keep an eye out on the SeaSA website for monthly specials.
