Just to advise you all who may be going out from the Hillarys marina on the weekend of the 17th March,The BIA (boating industry Of Australia) are haveing their show,that is great ,except ,the car& trailer

Will be closed off By 40%,that means that of the 247 trailer bays there will be a lot less access for those who want to go out. Please contact the manager if you have any concernse,his details are as follows:

He said that we,the trailer boat users can park our cars/trailers in the oerflow park situated in the North eastern side of the launching ramps.Thois is ok but if you are a lone fisherman/boat user,you will have too,:launch you'r boat, make it fast to the end of the jetty,take you'r car & find a parking area,,possible some few minutes walk away,and mapart from annoying some people by not moving you'r boat quickly ,you could find someone has stollen a rod or two,lets face it,some people do take what is not theirs,while you are gone,not just when you go out,but also when you return. If,as I suspect,many of you are to appathetick to do anything or just do not care,Fine,but other wise phone Chriss up and voice you'r concerns,after all,Hillarys was built for the trailer boat person and apart from Ocean Reef & Quinns is all we have in the Northern suburbs,but down the other side of the Swan river,there is Cockbourn,A lovely ramp,the Two at Rockingham,basic but usable,then another at point Peron,another lovely ramp.I think the only reason we have just the one good one with all of 247 bays that we must share with the cars that the people go to the commercial shops from,is that the goverment treat us with the contempt we seem to diserve> just my views but I hope othrs will read this and add thier own.After all,its not that we are not paying a lot of money for our weekend of pleasure.:Boat Rego,Trailer rego,Fuel tax,(meant for roads) then the fees for launching & parking,the serviceing of motors,the bait,safety gear,Oh shit,I think some of you must earn far to much money and simply do not give a stuff.Diver.
