Re: Still looking for an investigator trailer

Just bumping this one more time. Rather than up my offer I’m interested in a trailer at whatever price the seller wants. Obviously if the price is high I’d be looking at reasonable quality. Quite a few registered trailers are available 2nd hand but require mods to fit a 563, so thought I’d throw it ...

Re: Today at Valentine

As of yesterday the car was still parked there :lol: although the pole was cleared away within a few days. I can only assume that insurance companies once they take control of a written off item are not under pressure to remove it? There was a sizeable yacht sunk off the slips at green point recentl...

Re: Parking fees

Ok . I’ve just done a search and as far as I can ascertain boatramps are not charging parking for car/trailer in Sydney but I thought I remembered complaints of such in other forums, maybe VIC. The problem is I’d say in place’s with crowded ramps , once car/trailer spaces are full you are forced int...

Re: Parking fees

Civilised up there mate. I don’t think PS are currently charging to park your boat and trailer for the day but as far as I know that is the case in Sydney. I know the principle of user pays is becoming normal but it seems a case of “if people want new facilities someone has to pay for them”. Im ofte...

Parking fees

We have been up at Fingal Bay Port Stephens for a few days. The scourge of paid parking has now extended from Nelson Bay out to encompass the smaller satellite towns. This doesn’t worry us normally as we are staying in the caravan park and walk everywhere but apparently regional councils are now sta...
