NEW BOATING TRAILS LAUNCHED ACROSS VICTORIA

Victorians can look forward to planning their next boating trip, thanks to a set of new boating trails officially
launched by the Andrews Labor Government.
Minister for Fishing and Boating Sonya Kilkenny and Member for Geelong Christine Couzens today announced
Geelong is one of four areas to feature the new trails and takes boaters on a journey to popular Queenscliff.
The other trails include from Docklands through the heart of the city along the Yarra, around Western Port and
along the Port Phillip coastline to Mornington.
The trails have been developed in conjunction with Visit Victoria, Boating Industry Association of Victoria, Sailing
Australia and other agencies.
They’re tailored toward being accessible for a range of boats and cruisers with a variety of activities on offer
throughout the trail, including restaurants, cafes and entertainment.
Boaters can also access information about various venues while on the trail through the Better Boating website –
including beaches and fishing spots to visit, as well as details on how and where to securely moor vessels in safe
harbours or marina facilities.
The trails complement an extension to the Public Berthing Trial – which was offered earlier this year by Better
Boating Victoria in conjunction with three Port Phillip marinas. Until the end of August, Sandringham Yacht Club,
Royal Geelong Yacht Club and Wyndham Harbour will provide free overnight berths for boaters who book direct
with them and mention the trial.
