Port Kennedy boat ramp situation
I Went to throw a few poppers around at Port Kennedy boat ramp and seen over 50 people fishing there which was good to see, what wasnt was the amount of people littering, throwing cigarette buts into the ocean, leaving beer cans and mcdonalds packets on the beach, keeping undersized crabs and fish that were not even close to size one i also noticed a needle on the footpath where i parked my car which we managed to put into the bin. The issue of people parking in the places to rig your boat up and where to reverse back into the ramp is getting really bad there were cars all over the rigging places, cars on foot paths and the actuall car park was empty do people not want to walk or dont understand, It recently took me 20 minutes for someone to move there car of the ramp so we could back my boat in. Obvousily not a huge issue more concerned with the rubbish, broken glass and needle on beach and foot paths.
Note the photos below and the empty car park

Seems to be how the world is wired nowdays
Everyones a winner all the time, perfect everything every day.
People so lost they can only ever think of themselves, not how do they fit into the situation.
starts at school I think, "here Fredy, a ribbon for breathing". Social media feeds the insanity. Then next thing you know no one else matters but them and every single moment of their life is perfect all the time.
Then 50 families turn up to enjoy the beach and hardly anyone parks where they are meant to.

That is the result...
...of placing an operating boat ramp in the middle of a popular swimming beach. Do the signs actually say "no parking"? Or do they merely say "boat rigging/derigging only"? Most people wouldn't understand what that actually means.

Bong
I went there for a look last year . Got out the car and theres a home made bong sitting on the footpath. Classy place or what and it has been a rubbish tip for as long as i can remember. Less chance of getting your car broken into if you park in the rigging area.
