Yes that all sounds like quite an adventure. Still, I've been driving for decades and I couldn't imagine life without personal transport. But I wish you all the best of that's how you like it.

Each to their own.

Urm yes, like it says on all the seats really mate.

Cool. But wait, "we don't drive" !?!?!?!

And you don't even consider cars or transporting goods, and people living on Islands ???

That's some kind of solitary kind of existence going on there for sure.

Hmmmmm. We should probably never meet.......although I'm still a good runner.

Oh Gawd it was you that bashed him wasn't it !?!?!?

I always suspected that you were a big mean dude.

Sorry to hear about your plight, and good of you to dismiss the cops. Well it's not terribly unsafe up here, but bad things do occur at times.

May I ask where you live ? You don't have to be specific of course.

Maybe he was being dismissive about car ferries to car ferry enthusiasts ? Or maybe he's just weird.....

That's correct. These are the brand new ones. ( Well A new one, unsure when the second one is due or already in operation. ) Heck there's even a small cafe up there. The old ones are still running. Absolutely awful in the full sun. You can get out of your car and find shade, still not fantastic.

They operate all day from Redland Bay to the South Morten Bay Islands. They also go to Moreton and Stradbroke Islands. They go from Cleveland. They may go from Eagle Farm too but I'm not sure about that. I think the Whitsunday Islands might have them too, and other Islands around Queensland.

I'm not being a smart arse but how do you think goods and services get to various places.

There's also a dedicated Ambulance ferry, ( it carries people tho not an Ambulance ) and a Police barge that carries police vehicles to these Islands.

Semi trailers with building materials come over on barges, as well as dump trucks and energex crews. I've seen a semi with an enormous swimming pool on it, and full houses also get delivered. Woolworths deliver too. Thousands of people live on these Islands.

So yeah cars, vans, trucks etc need to get here. We have a school bus here too. It didn't drive over.

Have you heard of Fraser Island ? Many 4WDs get on car ferries to there also. And there are resorts over there that need goods and services.

Similar here as it's been raining and it's overcast. Bliss.

I think it's when I post a video clip it doesn't create a thumbnail.
