Even better news, I went and checked Bundegi ramp today for work and there is a shire excavator there, hopefully ready to begin work.

Also, when I was in Coral Bay on the weekend, the new marina has progressed extremely well. The pylons are in the water and they are paving the retreive lanes as we speak. Should be ready pretty close to schedule from the looks of things and wouldn't you know it, the marina is only 500m from the nudist beach......

Great news fellas, work on Bundegi ramp has begun this week and theres already significant progress. Hopefully they will have it completed on the due date.

Also, Coral Bay ramp is near completion. The only thing left to do is seal the car park.

So is the Coral Bay Ramp to become a nudist ramp?

IF IT BLEEDS,.........WE CAN KILL IT.

so they might be close to finish by the time i get there next year eh

Word on the grapevine is that work on Bundegi boat ramp has commenced again and the ramp should be completed by the end of next month.  I haven't been up to look yet, but word is that its still going to be a bit of a nuisance to launch/retrieve on.  Apparently you will have to back your trailer back nearly 60m to get to the water, SHOULD BE INTERESTING, thats if reports are correct.
