 This ramp is adjacent to Coalmine Beach Caravan Park where we all camp for the Walpole Regatta.
-It is a good ramp with a small beach that you can pull your boat up onto.  However, note that the water is quite shallow making the ramp not good for anything that has a keel.  Parking for cars and trailers at the top of the hill where you will also find a toilet.  After launching you will typically move your boat down the beach so that it is in front of the caravan park.

-A basic beach ramp for residents of the caravan park.  A nice place to pull up for a visit and an ice cream from the caravan park shop.

-Have not used this ramp.  A good starting point for an excursion up to Monastery Landing.
+Nice ramp with a good floating dock but no 'beach'.  If  you need more docking space there is another small dock a short distance upstream.  An excellent place to launch for an excursion up to Monastery Landing which is about 5 - 6km upstream.   Facilities include toilets, some shade and benches.  If you are lucky the cafe may open.
+The trip up to Monastery Landing is only suitable for rowing, paddling, or power craft.  Be on the lookout for sunken trees and branches.   If struck awkwardly some could easily hole your boat. These can be hard to see with the tannin in the water.   Some have been marked with buoys by locals.
