Rest and Ferry Day

Geelong

The only cycling today was to the ferry terminal. We booked onto the 6.45pm sailing from Geelong which arrived in Devonport at dawn.

We followed the same process as walk-on passengers, not car drivers. 

Much easier than on New Zealand car ferries.

Travel Tip: If you want to wake up really early, book the discount room in a motel opposite a fire station.

Thanks for the reminder. I need to go back and add some words while some still come to mind. I could at least toss in a few captions.

Graham SmithScott we were told that there’s a new ferry but there was a classic bureaucratic stuff up. They didn’t measure if it would fit the Devonport wharf facilities. So it’s awaiting construction to be completed.

Very easy embarkation and bike load on the ferry.
