Lawrence Ferry

The Lawrence Ferry(actual name is Bluff Point Ferry, Lawrence) is a cable ferry across the Clarence River in New South Wales, Australia. The ferry operates between the town of Lawrence and Woodford Island, and forms part of the route east from Lawrence to the coast. It is the busiest vehicular ferry in New South Wales.[1][2]

The ferry is operated by a private sector operator under contract to New South Wales Roads and Maritime Services. The ferry operates on demand 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but is closed for maintenance every Tuesday between 0950 and 1100. If the ferry is not in operation, the alternatives are a 38 kilometres (24 mi) detour via the Ulmarra Ferry, or a 67 kilometres (42 mi) detour via the bridge at Grafton.[1][3]
