Located just 20 kilometres north of Swan Hill, the Speewa Ferry first started operating in 1904. Locals from the area still talk about how the ferry was originally operated by hand winch!
Now, in modern-day, the ferry is controlled by a diesel engine and can take up to two cars per ride. The Speewa Ferry runs every day between the hours of 8:00 am and 8:30 pm with two, one-hour breaks each day and is toll-free.
The Ferry is controlled by NSW Roads and Maritime and is one of only two ferries to cross the Murray River on the NSW and Victoria borders, the other being the Wymah Ferry.
