    Dad reckons fishing is 10% brains and 95% muscle, the rest is just good luck.

    I heard talk of a passenger only ferry about a year ago from Scarby to Bulwer, but am yet to hear any more of it since.

    The Main issue here will be the appropriate permits, and the reduction in Camping locations on the island.

    Apparently there has been a barge built and sold. It was built overseas of course. The person is now building another 2 barges. When he sells one of those he will have the other for near to no cost. so goes the story. Then there is the issue of permits to dredge at the outside of the Scarborough harbour. There is a problem there with the authorities. He will probably win in the end but that is all I know. His name is Chris Bale and he owns a house at the top of the hill behind Tangalooma, so he has a vested interest in Moreton Island.

    If this is successful will the barge be able to carry vehicles towing boats or will it be strictly for cars & passengers only?

    It will be able to take boats and trailers just like all the existing and past ferries.
