Re: KI ranked among the world's best!
Now wer're talking dude ten out of ten for inovation A plus for sheer genius. This is it, if France and England can build a tunnel across the English channel what the bloody hell is wrong with us building a bridge of monumental proportions to the island of kangaroos. This is a brilliant idea, you deserve a medal man.rogue wrote:Sorry for digging up an old thread again, but it saves starting a new one.
I was at Cape Jervis over the weekend and was looking over to KI. It didn't really look that far (distance wise) and have since found out it is 16kms from the mainland to Penneshaw.
Do you think it would ever be feasible for a bridge to link the 2? Something like the road to Key West in Florida.
I cant believe the current ferry link is not part of the national highway network like the Tasmanian ferry is. Everyone that travels on the Spirit of Tasmania receives a subsidy. Why not the same for Sealink?

There wouldn't be that many people travelling between France and England, would there?

This is the distance you're talking about. Photo taken at Starfish Hill near Cape Jervois. KI is across that little bit of water.

Nice photo of Backstairs Passage Al. The feasibility of bridges and tunnels and their costs would make these projects pie-in-the-sky. The mass tourism that it would create would ruin KI's unspoilt character. Leaving it as is, as an eco/boutique destination would be best.

All NIMBYs should be shipped off there. They might actually like it there.

Now fellas there is such a thing called balance why should any environment be damaged. In this environmentally conscience era i don't understand why we can't look after and nurture our progress at the same time.
Re: KI ranked among the world's best!
So how much exactly does it cost to get over there?Cruise wrote:I cant see a bridge being feasible in a long time unless a private constortium wished to fund it.rogue wrote:Sorry for digging up an old thread again, but it saves starting a new one.

But yes given the current costs of going there by car (plus the passengers cost) government subsidies should be in place.
If my memory serves me correctly i think it costs about $80 per vehicle and $20 per adult (one way) a bit to steep if you ask me!!!
Say if my car has 4 adults, does that mean that I am paying $80 for my vehicle plus $80 for the 4 adults?
That's ridiculous.

Re: KI ranked among the world's best!
That is correct.
Current pricing is:
Car - $162 return
Adult - $80 return
Student - $66 return
Child - $44 return
As per SeaLink website http://www.sealink.com.au/ferry_fares.html
Its cheaper to go for a weekend in Melbourne. That is why I asked the question about the feasability of a bridge (toll bridge even).
It's f*^king expensive!
