Ferry interruptions

SERVICES on the Daintree River ferry will be impacted over the weekend due to low tides and sand build up. Service interruptions are expected between 1.30pm to 4pm today, 1.40pm to 4.45pm on Sunday, and 2.10pm to 5.25pm on Monday. “The ferry can’t always operate at low tide when there is silt build up in the Daintree River after flood events,” a Douglas Shire Council spokesman said. The council is aiming to complete dredging prior to mid-June.
