Mandurah and Peel-Harvey Inlet
There are a large number of ramps in the Mandurah region. These can be grouped as follows
- Mandurah
- Harvey Estuary
- Serpentine River
- Murray River
Egret Point
Not a ramp but a handy beach launching spot used by FOAM (Federation Of Ancient Mariners). They sail from here most Thursday mornings unless the weather is awful.
You can back your car right up to the beach and get your boat straight off onto the sand, very handy. With luck the coffee van will be there. Toilets are at the back of the car park.
When leaving the beach use the northern end towards the bridge as there is foul ground directly off the beach.
Typical expeditions out from here can be:
- A short trip down the channel to Boundary Island which has a nice beach to pull up on and have morning tea.
- Out into the Peel Inlet and around the science platform
- Across the inlet and into the lower section of the Murray. The south bank on Meeyip Island has a useable beach.
- If the conditions are good some of the hardy FOAMies do a 'Matthew Flinders', a circumnavigation of Halls Head. Down to Dawesville, out through the cut, and then north around Halls Head returning through the main channel. Needs favourable tidal flow and a boat that can get under the Mandurah Bridge (4.4m)
