Final Cooper Creek Ferry Details

For those that have been following my rantings and ravings for the past eleven months, you will be aware with my obsession with the Cooper Creek Ferry.

Members Pa & Ma.

Hi Stephen, very well done & thanks.
My family history goes back to the Birdsville Track and the Coopers Creek.
We went up to the crossing from Maree & back , Sept. last yr. The road to Mungarannie was still closed.
We ended up towing a car & caravan out who'd been stuck for weeks, got caught by the rain!. Several other people also towed him in different places.
We passed a group of cars with the leader having a big E.O sticker across the top of his front window.
The car we were towing didn't have it turned on.So therefore, no power steering as we found out when we dropped him up on high ground.
Take care, Safe travels Ma.

Hi Ma
We were lucky when we made our first and only successful trip to see the flooded Cooper. We tried to get back on two more occasions and a very wet and closed Birdsville Track put an instant stop to that. Lets hope that it is finer up that way this year.

Thanks for your kid words.

Cheers

Stephen
