Agree, will be settle between the two parties, with the backpacker 'funding' the replacement vehicle.
Will not be surprise if they start locking the ramps and increase the trip cost across due to 'additional safety procedures'

Will they get a refund for the unused return journey?
Yeah but will be charged for launch fees .

Ch 7 are saying  "The operators of a barge to Fraser Island could be responsible for salvaging and replacing a four wheel drive which rolled off the ferry into the sea."

Just joined friends that travelled back on the barges today at Mon Repos.......

Ramps were raised and locked, one ramp couldn't be locked and they bumped the hydraulic pump a few times during the crossing.

It's very quiet around here about the whole thing.

I would suggest, maybe a payment to all concerned has taken place and now its just up to the authorities to do what they do, which is very little.
That's just my opinion of course.

I'm just thinking, that's what i'd do if I made an almighty fukk-up..... put it to bed, quietly.  ;D

I must say, i'm concerned, very concerned.... we're thinking the same thing.... that just can't be right or healthy.

I reckon the guys that own the barge would have done a quick quiet payoff...................They've got plenty of cash.......everything we have ever sold them has always been for cash.
