Rose Bay Boat Ramp re-opens
A handy notification from NSW Maritime let me know that my local boat ramp at Rose Bay is open again – ahead of schedule too. I’ve been waiting for this for quite some time so I ducked out and snapped a few quick shots. You can take a look here: http://www.australianboatguide.com/boatramp/rose-bay-boat-ramp/
Fishing Charters in Australia, Facebook, and Trailer Boats
It’s been a while since Boat Guide was updated, but the trailer boat show this weekend has inspired a few updates to the site. First of all, there’s a new section: Fishing Charters. The fishing charter operators in Australia are listed by state, and also added on to the map for ease of use in ...
Inflatable with 5hp Motor for sale (now sold)

Lyne Park Boat Ramp
A visit to Rose bay boat ramp is something I’d put off for some time; being right in the midst of things I sort of expected something poorly organised with minimal parking. But actually, the boat ramp was a treat – in great condition, and I could have brought the boat with me easily and ...
Map of Boat Ramps in Sydney
When I was considering buying a boat, one of the things I thought about was where would I launch it? This spawned a weekend of driving around looking at the nearest boat ramps – and then a few a bit further out. As a novice boater I was (and still am) a bit concerned about ...
Australian Boat Guide version 2!
The initial website was looking a little clunky and wasn’t letting me do what I wanted to do in an elegant way, so I’ve taken the leap and re-designed the entire site. My new theme looks a lot nicer than the other site, and hopefully the cleaner design will make the site much more easy ...
