Crossing the Oualeme River by a small car ferry was quite an experience. There is no bridge so this is the only way across. The ferry runs 24/7 and is free, and can take four or five cars at a time. I was quite relieved when Richard told me that the ferry is actually attached to a cable so it can't get swept downstream and out to sea.

| This was taken from a lockout a few minutes drive after docking on the other side. This is the Oualeme River mouth. The rugged coastline can also be seen. |

Taken from the same lookout but looking up the river. That little white dot is the ferry starting it journey back to the southern side.
