During floods the ferry is often out of service and alternative routes need to be taken by motorists. The ferry is guided across the river by a steel cable which can sometimes lead to boating accidents for the unwary.

History
A ferry service began operations at the site in 1878 when Cobb & Co coaches provided service between Ipswich and Brisbane.
During the 2010–2011 Queensland floods the ferry broke free from its cable guidelines. The suggestion to sink the wayward ferry was raised during the flood crises until the captain and former skipper managed to secure the vessel to the banks of the Brisbane River with ropes.
