Ferry from Myola to Huskisson
Annoyingly for anyone wanting to get from Myola to Huskisson, or vice versa, there is no bridge over Currambene Creek. This means that driving from Myola to Huskisson to Myola requires an incredibly frustrating half hour detour.
If you want to escape the 34km drive, that’s where the Husky Ferry comes in. This Jervis Bay ferry service takes about ten minutes, and departs from the end of Catherine Street in Myola.
The Jervis Bay ferry is little more than a water taxi. It’s a no frills small boat that would struggle to get more than a dozen people on board. But for whipping people across Currambene Creek, that’ll do just fine. The journey only takes ten minutes.
