south perth jetty
Submitted by fisho-ron on Wed, 2010-10-13 17:59
i am taking the oldies out for a day on the river on sat and was looking at the best option for them to board the boat as they have back/hip problems.
does anybody know if the jetty to the left of the south perth boat ramp(not the ferry termial jetty) is suitable to tie a boat to so some oldys can get on board?
i can also launch there as well then.
i think it is the funcats jetty?
i thought about barrack st, but the jettys are to high.
another option is the littel bay on herrison island you can come into and back the boat up to the lawn(those who have been in there will know what i mean).
any other ideas for south of the river?
cheers ron

Jetty
Depending where you are another option could be further west at the ramp next to Belmont race course (ski area).
Has a small finger jetty which might help the old's.

they also need a sign saying
they also need a sign saying retrieve and launch as some days it get a bit hectic with people not using there common sense! (1 in and 1 out)
still beats east freo ramp which is a blatent rip off.
