The ferry crosses from the community of Wymah on the New South Wales side of the river, to Granya, and is approximately 35 kilometres (22 mi) east of Albury.

From September to April, the ferry operates on demand from 06:00 to 21:00, and from 07:00 to 20:00 for the rest of the year, with several breaks during the day.

The engine house was cantilevered approximately 1.1 metres (3 ft 7 in) out to the side.

Because of the variation in the water level in Lake Hume, the ferry operated between floating landing stages which are attached to each bank.

The position of the landing stages was adjusted by hand winch to suit the level of the water.
