Gnaraloo marine park zones
Submitted by duges66 on Thu, 2014-06-26 12:00
Heading to Gnarloo and found the exclusion zone co-ordinates but they are diff than what I can enter into my GPS E 113.29.3500 somehow converts to N 113 17.400 WTF how can that be right anyone advise the correct conversion?
Was using http://www.gpscoordinates.eu/convert-gps-coordinates.php to do the conversion.
Ultimately chasing Gnaraloo bay 3 mile & turtles exclusion zone GPS co-ordinates if anyone has them.
Have a 6.25 Fiberglass Cruise craft but am being advised that with only 2 guys it'll be too difficult to retrieve from the beach so have a 13' tinnie as an alternative.
Thoughts on that?

yeah,
they well fucked that fisheries website, by proving links to DPaW, and DEC sites...

also, yeah, a 6.25 glass boat is doable with 2 people, but just be SUPER prepared - bog mats, winch, snatch strap, kangaroo jack, etc.
you could possibly moor it in the bay, if you got a big enough anchor, so it puts you down to only 1 retrieval. there's a good chance that some people will probably help you out too, but there's also a chance they wont....

Cheers Scotto, re the
Cheers Scotto, re the co-ordinates on that link. for e.g Gnaraloo Bay NE corner has
23.45.1000 S 113.32.7500 E is it as simple as dropping the last digit when entering it into my GPS as the format for my GPS only allows 3 figures after the last decimal pt to be entered not 4 so would 23.45.100 S 113.32.750 E be the same or is there some conversion that needs to be done.

Yeah mate,
Pretty sure that's it, just drop the last digit.

Just make sure you lay out all the available mesh and bog mats when launching and retrieving. It seems like a hassle the first time you do it but after a couple of days you get used to it. Best to get friendly with whoever else is fishing there and help them retrieve their boat and in turn you will have a couple of helpers. Drop tyre pressures as soon as you get there, not only helps with the sand but also the horrendous corrugations between the homestead and the bay.

Hi
How long are you there for? Will be up there on the 5th. As Nauti has said, preparation with the mats. We will be around to help you if you get stuck. The beach was very soft last year. Hoping for better this year.
