Roxburgh Gorge Jetboat transfer landscape-54

Today we rode the Roxburgh cycle trail. It is done in two parts 10 and 11kms. The landowner in the middle didn’t want the track going through his land, so enterprising locals offer a jet boat ferry service between the two ends. There goes our ferry man, while we had another 10km to ride. Actually we had another 17 as we rode to the start from our camp site. Rode 36km today in quite hot conditions. Now enjoying a cold G&T
I am amazed they can carry the cost of this jet boat ferry!. I think those landowners are very selfish - the photos show the rail trail goes through at some distance from their houses!

@maggiemae it’s certainly not cheap! We got a discounted price as he didn’t have time to do the history part of it. Wasn’t a problem as I’d done it b4

It's a shame that the two ends of the trail cannot be joined up. You had a good long ride and deserve a nice cool G&T after riding in the heat.
