Ferry service between the Victoria Point jetty and Coochiemudlo Island is available at 30-minute intervals from 5am (from Coochiemudlo Island) to 11:30pm (from Victoria Point Jetty). The fare is $3.40 each way, per person. Concessions are available to pensioners and children (free up to 5 years old; half fare between 5 and 14 years old).
It is a short and very pleasant ride from the Victoria Point Jetty to Coochie — you can’t help wishing for it to last longer. The best ferry ride has to be in the evening, on the way back home for islanders, with clear sky and all those stars above.
On weekdays when schools are in session you will come face to face with the future of Coochie: children on their way to and from school. No, there isn’t a school on Coochiemudlo Island; Coochie children travel free on the ferry to get to and from schools in the mainland.
