Ulmarra Ferry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ulmarra Ferry is a cable ferry across the Clarence River in New South Wales, Australia. The ferry operates between the town of Ulmarra and Southgate.[1][2]
The ferry is operated by a private sector operator under contract to New South Wales Roads and Maritime Services. The ferry operates on demand from 0600 to 2300, 7 days a week, with three 45 minute breaks during the day. It is closed for maintenance every Sunday from 0600 to 0800 and on the first Wednesday of each month from 0930 to 1130. If the ferry is not in operation, the alternatives are a 30 kilometres (19 mi) detour via the bridge at Grafton, or a 38 kilometres (24 mi) detour via the Lawrence Ferry.[3][4]
