We are thrilled to announce the names of the two new ferries for the Kangaroo Island Ferry Service!
Last year, we invited the community to help us name these ferries, and we received over 1,500 submissions. Seeking formal approval from the Ngarrindjeri Aboriginal Council (NAC), whose cultural heritage is deeply connected to Cape Jervis and Kangaroo Island, was a vital step.
In the linked video, Mark Koolmatrie, Deputy Chair of the Ngarrindjeri Aboriginal Corporation (NAC) explains the meaning behind the names.
Throughout the naming process we have worked closely with NAC and other stakeholders to acknowledge and celebrate the connection of the Ngarrindjeri people to the lands and waters in which our ferries operate.
Take a moment to watch the video and join us in celebrating this exciting milestone as we head towards the commencement of the new Kangaroo Island Ferry Service in 2025!
