It's a cable ferry across the Pieman River at Corinna on the West Tasmanian Coast, known as "The Fatman Barge".  Takes 2 cars and costs $20 one way.

I was even allowed to pilot it myself, including dock on the other side! The driver doubles as chef at the classy Corinna restaurant. If you can' t read the print on the photo of the sign, it says......

Hi

Here is another ferry. A very simple operation and easy to maintain as all the mechanicals are on the deck.
It is the Jardine River ferry nearly at the top of Cape York Peninsula, $80-00 return valid for a month only.

Cheers Garry Kenner
