It gets better....... Altona was only letting you pay using a phone app which costs $1.35 booking fee each time as well. Have not had a chance to see if the Newport ramp is the same.

Hastings has this app as well (didn't realise it had a booking fee...but I'm not surprised)

A little birdy told me you aren't actually paying to use the ramp, you are paying for parking your car there while you are out fishing.

I only use hastings and its pretty good value for money. mind you at a real low tide it can cause serious headaches. ive seen many trailers back off the end of the ramp and bugger the springs on the trailer.
fairly central to everything. only takes 40 minutes to get to cat bay.
