We came to a standstill at Wiseman's ferry, quite literally, as the road stopped dead in its tracks at the Hawksbury River. This wasn't obvious from the map so we were surprised to find ourselves waiting for the chain ferry to carry us across to the other side.
The ferry is just an enormous piece of floating road, complete with road markings and a hard shoulder. It takes about three minutes to wind its way across, but it's a very odd three minutes as you sit in your car gliding across the water. There are worse ways to travel, I suppose. It beats the Runcorn bridge.
