Flinders Pier Demolition

[Texas]

absailing,

Harnesses are for pussies. Freeclimb is the way.



Is maintaining a pier a parks vic responsibility? I thought bay piers were maintained by the council, or is that only in port phillip?

Also, the newer concrete section is fine, are they only demolishing the wooden section at the start? They did a heap of work out on the platforms on the end a few years back.

It'd end up "free fall" for me

Seahorses are'nt good eating, but, pretty little things

People say the same thing about Salmon.

What's your favorite seahorse recipe?

They're okay deep fried, a bit like Dolphin.

My understanding is they where demolishing just the first section to where the concrete part ends and leaving the rest as its stable for now?? With a view to possibly in the future replacing the existing wooden structure with concrete. Because of the heritage overlay I think it has to remain the length it is because of the history it has..

I was just there yesterday on the foggiest of days. Plenty of people on it but no luck for myself or anyone else as far as I could see. Still good to be out and about. Only lost one rig too. So that’s a bonus.

So many Victorians have happy memories of dropping a line at the end of the Flinders Pier. The first 180m planned for demolition can still be saved. The Flinders Community Association is actively campaigning to save the historic pier.

It's happened for years they let the piers get in such disrepair that is not feasible / cost effective to repair when they finally decide to do some thing about it. the days of land based pier fishing are numbered, what new piers have been built ? what piers have been lengthened or widened ? where are all these target 1 million anglers going to fish ? All that's left is to buy yourself a boat.

There the new jetty in Geelong, but let’s be honest will probably get closed off when the council sees how messy it gets in snapper season, especially with no bins for the dumb asses who don’t take rubbish.
I used to fish whydham harbour, closed off.
Not ideal

If it private rockwall like wyndham harbour then will get locked off.
