SOR boat ramps
Submitted by silly on Thu, 2011-09-15 09:45
Just moved to South perth after coming from the northern suburbs. I'm familiar with the ramps NOR and will probaly still use them but not too sure which ramps to launch from in the south. Only one i've used is Leeuwin boat ramp but at $12 a pop, i'd rather find another ramp to launch from. I was told that there's one at point walter and Bicton but cant find much info on the net? Other than that, whats the next ramp south of leeuwin? Woodies?
cheers

Woodies and Pt Peron are
Woodies and Pt Peron are great. Woodies has lots of good ramps with lots of parking and is free (no filleting table or washdown). Pt Peron is again free, has several good ramps, a big stainless covered filleting table with water plus washdown. NOR aint got nothing on them (except for being NOR... lol).
If you want to go to Rotto, I dont think its a lot longer from Woodies. I once checked how long it would take to get from Woodies to a spot about a 1km south of freo harbour and due to the slow speed limit in the swan, it would have been about the same from Woodies as it would from Leeuwin.

You can launch from Point
You can launch from Point walter and its not a bad ramp, no jetty or wash down and there is only one ramp so can get busy but its free parking. Or there is Peppy grove NOR which is a crap sandy ramp with no wash down and very little parking but it is free. I live just up the road from leeuwin and we lauch from woodies.
