banksia beach boat ramp
Has anyone ever used the small boat ramp at banksia beach on Bribie Island?
I just bought a small 4.2m quintrex and although I have reversed box trailers ect before I have not specifically used a boat ramp before. There is a small ramp at banksia beach. However, if my memory serves me well you have to reverse down onto the actual beach to launch the boat (not a problem as I've got a land cruiser). Im hoping to use it as it should be nice and quiet and i'll have somewhere to practice without an audience or the stress of people standing around waiting for me to get out of the way.
Im just wondering if anyone can confirm that the ramp is still there and that you can still just reverse down onto the sand.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: banksia beach boat ramp
I’ve used it years ago, and yes you have to drive onto the beach to launch. Also from memory there’s no trailer parking so you just have to find somewhere on the streets nearby. A guy who hired out kayaks used to be set up there and sometimes could make life a bit difficult by leaving his trailer in the way. Not sure if he’s still there. The ramp near the Vmr would be my choice. If you can get there on a week day it shouldn’t be to busy.
