Once again the Boaties, both locals & tourist in this region are up against it. Last Sunday with the weather brilliant and being School holiday, our only Deepwater access, Rosslyn Bay Harbour(RBH) with just
175 Car trailer parks was overflowing, not only was the Parks full but Vince Jones & Breakwater Drives where both packed on their roadsides.
With this in mind think of the frustration of not only trying to find a Park,with mum and the kids holding the boat, but then when they finally returned to RBH after a lovely day out on our waters only to find a fine for illegal parking !
These local Boaties & Tourist where not out to break the law they where Only out to spend family time & money in this region. I would urge anyone that was issued with a Parking infringement to contact our local Member for Keppel,Mr Bruce Young and state to him where and why you parked where you did ,and if any members of the boating public who may have photos of the overflowing parks please send them to either handsontackle@bigpond.com.au or; thefourkings@bigpond.com ,So they can Send them on the relevant people.
This just once again emphasizes the need for another all tide deepwater access on the Southern end of our Capricorn Coast is well and truly Overdue. So what are locals AND tourist to do ,just get a member of Qld Transport to sit in the Car Park and put NO VACANY sign at the Vince Jones turn off when full & send Mum& Dad & locals back to where they came ,or risk a fine OR fight for what we need !!
