The "Fatman" barge allows vehicles to travel from north or south across the Pieman River. It is the only cable driven vehicular barge in Tasmania. Entry from the south into Corinna township by barge heralds the arrival into an oasis in the remote wilderness.
The barge operates between 9am and 7pm in the summer and 9am and 5pm outside daylight saving hours.
The crossing takes about ten minutes and a charge of $20 applies to normal size vehicles and $25 for larger vehicles.
The carrying capacity is 6.5 tonnes, the maximum vehicle measurements are 2.46 m wheel base and 2.50 m body width. The maximum combination wheel base is 9.0 m and the minimum caravan under body clearance 0.2 m. Any questions about the barge operations can be made by contacting us.
