Kangaroo Island Transport From "E.W." Penneshaw:—Is it not possible for Kangaroo Island folks to get transport across Backstairs Passage the same as we had for seven years? It was the best service the island has ever had. At present we have one boat a week, leaving Port Adelaide at 6 p.m., and the Penneshaw people do not arrive at their destination until 1030 a.m. (or later) next day. During the summer the producers will get only second grade price for cream. &c., whereas, when we had quick transport, it was delivered each day. A boat-road service, if only three days a week, would be cheaper than planes.
