18.01.2022 Alan Lloyd I guess the same would apply to the main ferry if it gets to the point they’d close Webb’s creek ferry?

16.01.2022 Really really bad trenches across settlers Rd...dozens of them. Some you have to really pick your way through. I turned back at violets gully as I thought there was too much over Rd for my forester. Half way up my gum boots & not even the deepest part.
