Crossing the Clarence by ferry

There is a vehicular ferry which crosses the Clarence River at Bluff Point, about a kilometre north of Lawrence, a village which sits on the west bank of the river.

Many people use this ferry (and also another further upstream at Ulmarra) every day.
It is in operation 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and is the busiest vehicular ferry in NSW.

Because there are two ferries located here there are never any times when regular maintenance interferes with the service.

A trip across the river - about 400 metres - takes around three minutes.
(Further upstream, at Ulmarra, the river is wider and the ferry trip at that crossing takes about twice as long).

Here is a short video of a "ride" on the ferry....taken last week when I did the return trip from Yamba to Grafton via the "back road".
