Passengers watch as a Landcruiser tumbles off the back of a vessel travelling between Rainbow Beach on the Queensland coast and Fraser Island.

The footage was captured by traveller Chlöe Swift, who said on Facebook: “Really sad and scary start to our Fraser Island trip 😢 all 4x4’s were on the ferry and we were making our way to the island.

One of the 4x4’s at the back of the ferry completely rolled off and sank. Luckily nobody inside the car! But quite a few phones, debit cards, passports and valuables all gone.” The barge company, Manta Ray Fraser Island Barges, was investigating

Don't Ockers know about handbrakes?

A chain should be strung across the ramp entrance when the ferry is sailing.
Been on the Woolwich ferry over the river Thames loads of times and it's standard health and safety. Chain the exits

That was an expensive booboo!

Credit to Toyota, the cruiser floated for a while.

How is the owner going to get an insurance company to pay out for his loss.
Report it as stolen and tell everybody they saw nothing.

Put it in park and set the hand brake.

Idiots.

No fooking barrier at the back to stop a rolling vehicle...Surprised at you Aussies...Usually so much safety "culture" it makes you puke, but nothing here...
