    1. [AUS-SAGEN] Wellington Ferry across the Murray River
    2. Christine Cook
    3. Hi all! Just wondering if anyone knows if and where records for the Wellington Ferry may be. I have read: Traffic on the ferry increased – in February 1852, 1234 people, 1266 horses and bullocks pulling 164 carriages crossed the river; fees collected were over 64 pounds. which indicates to me that some records are somewhere. I am particularly interested in the May/June 1852 records, as that is when my ancestors used the ferry. While I don't expect to find personal details I was hoping for a copy of the month to use as an illustration in a history. Any help or suggestions appreciated. Chris.
