We were delighted to find Wi-Fi in the shelter. Very useful! Getting to West island to clearing/out was less easy especially as there was no consensus on the ferry timetable. I have since laminated one and attached to the notice board.
There is a ferry from Direction to Home island on Saturday a.m. at 10:00 but the connections don’t really work to get back again. So it’s best to dinghy the 1.5nm to Home island giving the chance if the last ferry back from West island at 16:00. Ferry is AU $3.50 single or $5.00 return.
The bus meets the ferry for $0.50… everything shuts at 15:00 on Saturday and there was no cafe or bar open. The Community Centre was helpful with Wi-Fi, and the shop reasonably stocked.
