Ferry trip is pleasant

When is someone going to get off their backsides and do something for local communities?

How narrow-minded and selfish are they?

We are all being told to use less cars and more "other" forms of transport, yet the powers that be cannot see the need to dredge for a safe ferry run between Palm Beach and Ettalong.

I do not drive and get the bus and ferry to visit my mother at Ettalong Beach.

It is a long but pleasant trip - about three hours each way door-to-door.

Without the ferry it would be a bus to central station, then a train to Gosford, then from Gosford to Woy Woy and finally to Ettalong Beach.

For this, I will probably need a visa, a packed lunch and a Sherpa to guide me.

It will probably take me all day to get there, allowing for track works, delays, cancellations, and timetables that do not link in with each other.

What about the loss of business for those lovely cafes at Palm Beach?

And how will other commuters get from the Central Coast beach area to the northern beaches and beyond without this vital ferry service?
