What's the go with Brighton beach, for any forum members who live near there? Are you allowed to 4wd on the beach if dropping off a jetski, is there a boat ramp section? Is it OK to drive through where everyone has put their beach towels and set up to enjoy the beach? Anyway soft sand and fun and games ensue.

The nearest boat ramps are in St Kilda and Sandringham unless Royal Brighton Yacht Club allows jet ski's using it's private ramp. ..NOT...
Morons doing as morons so... Wish I'd known at the time. No vehicles allowed on any Melb. metro beach. Last edited by Dr Smith; 15-01-2024 at 06:44 PM. |

Was all over Reddit when it happened on r/Melbourne, all the anti-car cucks over there were cheering it on because they hate the RAM and Silverado.

Shows them as armchair worriers; they could have flash mobbed the beach and helped push the cars.
Into the water. |

Let's keep going with the overall theme: 4x4s caught out on the beach. Lancelin to Wedge on a public holiday is a complete circus.
I do like to talk shop with fisheries, bro was volunteer with them and aquaculture grad. Not suggesting anything official at all. One study I read suggested the compaction from driving on the beach tends to reduce the pippies and overall life underneath. My own view is that many places (like south coast WA) with very low human population density, you really do need 4x4 to get to fishing spots etc

Just another media beat up story, this is very common up north with people and their play toys, not hurting anyone except for the owner's pride & wallet, being labeled gooses for their stupid decisions.
You can rest assure it is good business for local salvage companies. |

Cars will be pilloried with neither fear nor favour, irrespective of their brand, in this thread Just depends on how fully sik their drivers try to be.
aussieblue, WA fisheries, eh? Oh the conversation we could have regarding the GWS coming back to WA waters in numbers in the last 30 years...

A bit like the plural for ibis not being ibi but ibises, or if you must be quaint, the classicalplural ibide. I used to all too regularly trip over these issues all the time during my last 20 years of work in WA Fisheries in the early 1990's with fish names where we always had scientists on hand with fish taxonomy degrees all to ready to correct us and point out when a Latin root was not involved. It was so bad that I started to think Octopus was the only fish name involving a Latin root. It also got that way in those pre-internet days, where there was no easy way to quickly check, that I found myself trying to write all my (then mainly economics) papers in a way that I could just use the singular for any fish or animal species I needed to refer to. Then there's was the confusing platypus where per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platypus Quote:

sure agree nothing like the KISS principle but I have to say, using my 09 4x4 Hilux (yes modern compared to the Kingswood) on beachs/dunes/tracks has never let me down - trouble is its too much much in todays 4x4's or offroaders.

I’m actually surprised that it’s still legal to drive on beaches, considering that lighting a bonfire on such (at least in NSW) has been illegal for a number of years. An activity that seems to come with far less inherent risk.

Plenty of beaches around Australia you allowed to drive on, the only ones that are prohibiting is surburban bay side beaches for a good reason, population numbers. |

Good old Indigo council (Beechworth) recently banned fire pits which seems weird considering every other council in NEV allows them.

You can still drive many beach's up our north coast CB provided you obtain a permit at the local servo etc..... Far more restricted than in the ol days obviously (used to drive anywhere but I get the preservation of dunes and the growth) and also depends which beach how restrictions are applied. Plus you can have bon fires at many still as well. Anyway if it wasn't for the mighty plane ol 09 Hilux I would have never experienced such wonderful places right up to Noosa. Would luv something like the ol 4x4 Falcon ute or the Van as noted above with those strong 6cyc motors but the D4 has performed very well.

Well Sprintey I’ll tell you re pippies being we’re euro background.
Stockton to 1mile beach probably one of the most used in the country has countless pippies every single time we frequent. My wife and kids luv standing at the shoreline as their feet sink deeper whilst the water rush’s back out and pippies pop up everywhere - you’re not meant to take them but hand up guilty now and then.

No worries, it sounds like a gem of a beach. Most recently we were up at the ones around Port Mac to South West Rocks. I could get into all the dune geography and shifting sand banks stuff but perhaps a bit beyond the scope of the thread...
Now my young fella has showed me a horrendous 4x4 vid this arvo, I'll see if I can translate it from tiktok into text forums in a little while.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAVetbvKk_3/ It's not a beach, but yeah very heavy and how did he manage to end up going where he went?!
