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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 18 child comments replies: [–] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 5 points 9 months ago* (15 children) I just don't know anything about Queensland. I got bashed there once. Spent two weeks laid up in a bed, being dressed and washed by someone else during that time, waiting for the all clear from a doc that my kidneys weren't shot from the assault. I've never thought to think about Queensland or Queenslanders much ever since. When the cops came to interview me they lost interest when I wouldn't corroborate their theory that it was Aboriginal kids that did it. No officer, they were all white and all in flannel shirts. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 15 child comments replies: [–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 9 months ago (3 children) wtf has that got to do with car ferries mate.

Public transport helps. We once bought a flat's worth of furniture from IKEA (double bed, three seater couch, tables, chairs and all the smaller items) and wheeled it all home from a few ks away with a gorilla cart. That was fun. When I lived in regional NSW I used to hitch everywhere. The only issue I had with that was carrying too many groceries on my shoulders once and hurting my back. I also got to spend a day delivering eggs and shooting the breeze with a farmer who picked me up. That wouldn't have happened if I had a car and drove everywhere.

We once bought a flat's worth of furniture from IKEA (double bed, three seater couch, tables, chairs and all the smaller items) and wheeled it all home from a few ks away with a gorilla cart. That was fun. When I lived in regional NSW I used to hitch everywhere. The only issue I had with that was carrying too many groceries on my shoulders once and hurting my back. I also got to spend a day delivering eggs and shooting the breeze with a farmer who picked me up. That wouldn't have happened if I had a car and drove everywhere. Didn't seem so solitary at the time. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone [S] 0 points 9 months ago Yes that all sounds like quite an adventure.
