Ferries cancelled in bad weather

Adverse weather conditions on the weekend of August 11 and 12 resulted in the cancellation of the Palm Beach to Ettalong via Wagstaffe ferry service.

Southerly swells of up to five metres were breaking dangerously close inshore on August 11 and 12 and south to southwest winds of up to 45 knot were blowing.

The ferry service was diverted to Patonga on a limited schedule on Friday, August 10, due to the dangerous sea conditions.
