Re: Keeping Carrum a manned boat ramp
You don't remember the public consultation survey from a few years ago on what to do with the lower Patterson River precinct including Launching Way and the ramps?

Traffic/Car Park management is the biggest problem at Carrum during peak times. The Launching Way operators have been providing the solution to this up until now. If the overflow parking was reconfigured as a permanent part of the facility and access in and out addressed somehow, there may be an arg...

Re: So is Mornington pier wrecked again?
Mornington pier (and the 'harbour' generally) is a good example of why these thing shouldn't be left to poor old Parks Vic to manage....and I mean that sincerely. I'm sure the last thing PV want is the burden of these fairly significant infrastructure assets on their books. They have better things t...

Re: Ezi guide self aligning rollers
Bowl, the other thing to consider is that the trailer has nothing to help you if you miss the rollers with the bow further up the trailer. Drive-ons of that configuration should really have the guides shown in the bottom of below photo above the cross members on each side of the centre rollers (phot...
