“The grand entry from the south into Corinna township by barge heralds your arrival into an oasis in the remote wilderness.”



The “Fatman” Barge allows vehicles to travel from north or south, across the Pieman River. It is the only cable driven vehicular barge remaining in Tasmania.


The barge operates between 9am and 7pm in the summer (daylight savings time) and 9am and 5pm in winter (outside daylight saving hours). It operates 7 days a week. There is no need to book for this service. Charges apply and can be viewed below.


The crossing takes about five minutes and the carrying capacity is 6.0 tonnes, with maximum vehicle measurements of 2.46m wheel base and 2.50m body width. The maximum combination wheel base is 9.0m and the minimum caravan under body clearance 0.2m. Please measure your vehicle/s to avoid disappointment.


If you have any questions about barge operations, or any other concerns about vehicle access to Corinna, please feel free to contact us here.
